Course Outcomes:

After studying this course, students will be able to:

1. Evaluate problems on electrostatic force, electric field duetopoint, linear, volume charges by applying conventional methods and charge in a volume.

2 Apply Gauss law to evaluate Electric fields due to different charge distributions and Volume Charge distribution by using Divergence Theorem.

3. Determine potential and energy with respect to point charge and capacitance using Laplace equation and Apply Biot-Savart's and Ampere's laws for evaluating Magnetic field for different current configurations

4. Calculate magnetic force, potential energy and Magnetization with respect tomagnetic materials and voltage induced in electric circuits.

5. Apply Maxwell's equations for time varying fields, EM waves in free space and conductors and Evaluate power associated with EM waves using Poynting theorem

 

Question paper pattern:

• Examination will be conducted for 100 marks with question paper containing 10 full questions, each of 20 marks.

• Each full question can have a maximum of 4 sub questions.

• There will be 2 full questions from each module covering all the topics of the module.

• Students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.

• The total marks will be proportionally reduced to 60 marks as SEE marks is 60.
