Course Objective

This course aims to provide student a fundamental understanding on classical electromagnetic field theory, in forms of the relations between electromagnetic fields, charges and currents. After the course the student shall be able to use their conceptual understanding of the electromagnetic laws to qualitatively describe a solution to a electromagnetic field problem.
