Learning unit contents
The course aims to deepen and formalise the notions of electromagnetism seen in the first year. The material covers electrostatics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics, Maxwell's equations, conservation laws and electromagnetic radiation. The course ends with a brief introduction to the relativistic formulation of electrodynamics.
Partim A

Partim B
The course aims at deepen the resolution of problems of electrodynamics.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will be able to :
- to pass from the global form to the local (differential) form of the laws of classical electrodynamics
- give a physical meaning to Maxwell's equations and to the consequences that follow from them (principle of superposition, conservation of electric charge, energy, momentum, etc.)
- illustrate the solution of Maxwell's equations on concrete examples (electrostatics, magnetostatics and electrodynamics)
- put into equation physical problems of electromagnetism
Partim A
After the completion of this course, the student will be able to :
- move from the global to the local (differential) form of the laws of classical electrodynamics
- understand the physical meaning of Maxwell's equations and their consequences (superposition principle, conservation of electrical charge, energy, momentum, ...)
- be able to set and solve Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic systems (in electrostatics, magnetostatics and electrodynamics)
