Learning Objective: To apprise the students regarding the concepts of electrodynamics and Maxwell equations and use them various situations.
Learning outcome:
On completion of the course the student shall be able to:
1. interpret the deeper meaning of the Maxwellian field equations and account for their symmetry and transformation properties, domain of validity, and limitations
2. formulate and solve electromagnetic problems with the help of electrodynamic potentials and superpotentials, and make a detailed account for gauge transformations and their use
3. master the technique of deriving and evaluating formulae for the electromagnetic fields from very general charge and current distributions
4. calculate the electromagnetic radiation from radiating systems (aerials, localised charge and current distributions) at rest
5. calculate the electromagnetic radiation from localised charges which move arbitrarily in time and space, taking into account retardation effects. Account for the underlying approximations and assumptions
