ELECTRODYNAMICS
PHY3EPP
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject you will explore classical electro dynamics theory and applications, which expands on the concepts and theories related to electromagnetism that were encountered in first year physics. You will also be introduced to the emerging field of plasma physics which describes the rich behaviour of an electrically conducting fluid. Using this theory you will explore electro magnetic fields in matter, Maxwell's equation, electro magnetic waves and also the physics of the earth's upper atmosphere and magnetic fields, the Aurora, and magnetic confinement of high energy particles in fusion reactors. This subject is one of four physics subjects at 3rd year level that together constitute the physics major in the Bachelor of Science.
