Aims and Fit of Module

To equip students with tools to analyse electrical circuits with an understanding of the nature of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, which are important to engineering and applications

Learning outcomes

A. Understand principles related to Electrostatics and Magnetostatics and analyse the operation of basic magnetically coupled circuits; B. Apply Maxwell's equations in differential and integral form for engineering applications and the energy aspects of electromagnetic fields, and understand and analyse the properties of plane waves in free space; C. Describe and analyse the transient and frequency responses of first order and second order networks; D. Explain the structure and operation of three phase networks and analyse network properties. E. Perform network analysis using appropriate parameters on two port networks;

Method of teaching and learning

This module will be delivered by a combination of formal lectures, problem classes, and laboratory work.
