- This is an advanced course on static electricity and magnetism offered in the fifth semester of the common trunk of the undergraduate program with 65 teaching hours in class. It expands the material presented in Basic Physics III by introducing systematic methods of solution of boundary value problems using orthogonal functions, Green’s functions, and multipole expansions of static potentials. The course starts with an introduction to advanced vector analysis, including the fundamental Helmholtz and uniqueness theorems, and provides many example problems solved for every topic discussed in the class. It introduces the concepts of bound charge and current distributions on volumes and surfaces, and includes a detailed discussion of linear-isotropic-homogeneous dielectric and magnetic materials.
