This module deals with basic principles of electrodynamics and their applications. This module begins with an overview of electromagnetism and physical optics with emphasis on applications, problem solving and experimentation. It introduces boundary value problems, conservation laws in electrodynamics, propagation of electromagnetic waves in different media and radiation by moving charges with emphasis on applications, problem solving, teaching/learning skills and use of ICT in teaching/learning.
The aim of this module is to give to students a complete solid understanding of Classical Mechanics at an advanced level. The module provides indispensable preparation for advanced courses in theoretical physics. Techniques learned have wide use in advanced quantum mechanics, classical and quantum field theory, general relativity, particle physics and statistical mechanics
