Electricity and Magnetism (Physics) - PHY2602

Under Graduate Degree Year module NQF level: 6 Credits: 12
Module presented in English
Pre-requisite: PHY1506, MAT1503 & MAT1512
Purpose: The purpose of this module is to teach the student the concepts of Electricity and Magnetism, using vector calculus. The primary goal of this module is to help the student develop a conceptual understanding of these concepts continuing from the work done in the first year Electromagnetism course. The introduction to vector analysis and some of its useful theorems provide the mathematical foundation to be able to describe electric and magnetic fields comprehensively, both in vacuum and matter.
