Course rationale:
The second course at the intermediate level in
electricity and magnetism, one of the well-established core areas
of Physics. It provides an in-depth study of magnetism, electrodynamics
and electromagnetic waves, at a level necessary for a physics major,
building on the material introduced in the introductory course.
It is a required course for all SPH majors and an elective for SAP majors.
