The main goal of the course is the qualitative and quantitative discussion of the electromagnetic phenomena using deductive reasoning based on the Maxwell-equations.
In-depth discussion of the theory of electromagnetism starting from the knowledge gathered during the BSc studies.
Understanding the basics of the various methods used for the numerical analysis of electromagnetic field problems. Discussion of relevant questions related to the modelling of electromagnetic devices. Analysis, design and optimization of electromagnetic devices in the engineering practice.
Discussion of the electromagnetic theory behind the working principles of some devices: ranging from the high power engineering apparatuses through the high frequency applications to the optical and nanoelectronic devices.

Week 14
Maxwell-equations in moving media: relativistic Maxwell-equations and its approximations. Example: scattering from moving objects.
Lectures: 3 hours per week, demonstration: 1 hour per week. Demonstrations are mainly about the presentation made by the use of electromagnetic field calculation softwares. Lectures and demonstrations are not evenly distributed during the semester, they are arranged to follow the needs of the curriculum.
a. During the lecture period: students must solve a dedicated field calculation problem. The result of this must be reported orally. The oral report will be graded, a minimum grade 2 is required for the signature.
b. During the examination period: students must sit for an oral exam.
If the oral report is failed during the lecture period, it can be repeated once in the week before the examination period.
Lecturers of the course offer consultation hours during the lecture period. One consultation is offered before each exam. The actual time of the consultations can be found on the web site of the course.
