Electromagnetism is an important basic course for undergraduate students of physics. The discovery of experimental law and theory of electromagnetism is a milestone in the progress of human science and technology and civilization. It elaborates the basic concepts and basic laws of electromagnetic phenomena, introduces some major discoveries and inventions in the history of electromagnetics, physical ideas and experimental methods, and mainly studies the laws of electric and magnetic fields generated by electric charges and currents, and the interaction between electric and magnetic fields. Connection, the effect of electromagnetic field on current and charge, and the various effects of electromagnetic field on matter, finally establish the electromagnetic field theory marked by Maxwell's equation.
Learning through this course should enable students to:
1. Comprehensively and systematically master the basic phenomena, concepts and laws of electromagnetic motion;
2. To cultivate students' ability to analyze and deal with electromagnetics problems independently and their innovative quality, so as to equip students with comprehensive quality for related work and lay a good foundation for the follow-up courses;
3. Obtain certain scientific knowledge, scientific method, scientific attitude and scientific spirit and other scientific quality education and cultivation.
