Electromagnetic Field & Its Applications (EE30012)

This document is an exam for a course on electromagnetic fields and applications. It contains 5 questions testing various concepts: 1) Derive expressions for the divergence of a vector in generalized coordinates and for the electric field due to a uniformly charged circular disk. 2) Derive expressions for the electric field and induced surface charge density due to a point charge near a conducting sphere. 3) Establish boundary conditions for electric fields at dielectric-dielectric and dielectric-conductor interfaces. Calculate fields given an interface and field in a dielectric. 4) Obtain equipotential loci for parallel line charges and use this to derive a formula for parallel conductor capacitance. 5) Calculate the energy of a uniformly
