After successful completion of the course, students are able to describe the impact of electric and magnetic fields on charged particles, to explain the laws of classical electrodynamics, i.e., Maxwell's equations, and to discuss the relevance of special relativity to particle motion and electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, students are able to solve problems of special relativity and electrodynamics as well as present their results in front of an audience.
Starting from Electro- and Magentostatics both in vacuum as well as in matter, we develop by taking into account time-dependent electrical as well as magnetical fields via Faraday's Induction law and the Ampere-Maxwell law Maxwell's equations. From the invariance of the propagation-velocity of wave-solutions of Maxwell's equations emerges the Space-Time concept of Special Relativity.
Blackboard lecture with accompanied tutorials where relevant calculations are presented by students, and a weekly plenary exercise class with calculations presented by a faculty member
Please register for one of the tutorial groups before the registration deadline.
The lecture will be held in presence. However, the form may be adapted in correspondence to the infection situation. For more information about the mode of the course and the literature, please visit the homepage. Everything else will be announced on TUWEL.
Preparation and presentation of exercises + written exams
