This course is focused on the generation and propagation of electromagnetic fields. Based on Maxwell's equations we will derive the wave equation and its solutions. Specifically, we will discuss fields and waves in free space, refraction and reflection at plane interfaces, dipole radiation and Green functions, vector and scalar potentials, as well as gauge transformations.
Objective
Understanding of electromagnetic fields
Performance assessment
Performance assessment information (valid until the course unit is held again)
Performance assessment as a semester course
In examination block for
Bachelor's Degree Programme in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology 2017; Version 07.04.2022 (Examination Block 3)
The performance assessment is offered every session. Repetition possible without re-enrolling for the course unit.
Mode of examination
written 180 minutes
Additional information on mode of examination
Es werden eine Zwischen- und eine Blockprüfung durchgeführt. Ist die Note der Zwischenprüfung besser als die Note der Blockprüfung, so wird die Gesamtnote zu 10% aus dem Resultat der Zwischenprüfung (fakultativ) und zu 90% aus dem Resultat der Blockprüfung berechnet. Ist die Note der Zwischenprüfung schlechter oder gleich der Note der Blockprüfung, so ist die Gesamtnote gleich der Note der Blockprüfung.
Written aids
3 beidseitig eigenhändig beschriebene A4 Blätter. Keine weitere Hilfsmittel (Taschenrechner, Computer, Handys, .. )
If the course unit is part of an examination block, the credits are allocated for the successful completion of the whole block. This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding.
