ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM

1. Course Name : Electricity and Magnetism


2. Course Code : PHY1205
3. Credit hours : 3
4. Course Description
This course introduces general concepts of electricity and magnetism to the undergraduate student. It takes 3
hours of lectures per week for 15 weeks i.e. 45 contact hours in semester. It covers the following major topics:
 Electrostatics
 Steady currents
 Magnetic fields
 A.C. circuits

5. Course Objectives:
At the end of the course the student should be able to:
 Use the knowledge acquired for further studies;
 Apply theories of static charges and extend its applications to electrical instruments.
 Work with simple circuits;
 Apply the acquired knowledge to practicals.

6. Course Outline
Electrostatics
Coulomb’s law; electric fields; Gauss’s law and applications. Electrostatic
potential, electrostatic energy, dielectrics, capacitance.
Steady currents: Conduction in metals; Ohm’s law; Kirchhoff’s laws

Magnetic fields:
Moving charges and magnetic fields, magnetic flux density, Hall effect, Biot-Savart law, Ampere’s law,
electromagnetic induction; self and mutual inductance; energy stored in a magnetic field.

A.C. circuits:
Circuit elements; resistor, inductor and capacity, voltage – current relations; average and rms
values. Inductive and capacitive reactances.
Impedance; RLC series and parallel circuits. Power factor; low and high pass filters.
