- WELCOME! -
This is the webpage for Electromagnetism I. If you're here, it is probably reasonable to figure that you are likely enrolled in the class -- so thanks for signing up. Materials on this webpage are meant to supplement information given to you in class itself. I'm not a big fan of OAKS, therefore any on-line supplementary material for the course you need can be found here. To the left, you'll find important links/syllabi/etc.If you'd like to find out more about me or the research we do in my lab, check out my main webpage.
- Scheduling Announcements! -
Given our lost time due to Hurricane Dorian, we will be modifying our class schedule somewhat. The goal is still to get through the same amount of content, but exam dates and homework due dates will change. Please see list below for more details. IF THE UNIVERSITY INTRODUCES AN UNEXPECTED CLASS MAKE-UP SCHEDULE, THESE PROJECTED DATES MAY STILL CHANGE.- In case you missed my emails, I prepared two lectures for the time we missed class. My expectation is that you will complete those lectures (the first one is here and the second lecture is here) prior to classes reconvening. I will give you a little time to ask questions about that material at the beginning of our first class back.
- I electronically received HW2 from almost the entire class electronically. Thank you so much for your efforts to submit that in a timely fashion; it helped me significantly and will help all of us stay on schedule. Because I know you have been inconvenienced by the storm and possible evacuation, I will modify the due-date of HW3 to be on September 12th instead of the 10th. I have also flip-flopped the dates for Exam I and HW04, and moved your other exam dates as well. Please see the revised schedule below.
- For those of you who are taking another upper-level Physics class with me, I have continued to ensure that you do not have two tests with me in the same week. There is one day (9/17) when you have homework due in both E&M and Cloud and Precipitation Physics, and one date (11/14) when there is homework due in Cloud and Precipitation Physics and you are taking an E&M Exam. I did the best that I could to minimize this.
- The revised homework and midterm schedule has been implemented in the bottom portion of this webpage. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
UPDATE: 09/20/19
As implied above, our schedule for due dates and tests needs to change again. Check this webpage in the sections below to note updated due dates / schedules.
- About This Course -
This is the upper-level undergraduate course on Electricity and Magnetism. The course (typically taken either as a Junior or Senior undergraduate) is designed to introduce and develop the concepts of electric and magnetic fields (in vacuum and matter), the electric and magnetic potential fields, and a development of Maxwell's equations.- Course Announcements -
