TEXT: Engineering Electromagnetics, 3rd Edition, 2015, N. Ida, Springer Verlag.
Office Hours: To be decided by mutual agreement. Suggested times: Monday Wednesday and Friday, 9-11 AM. However, I ask that you come and see me any time (between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM), regardless of office hours. There will be instances in which I will be busy with other activities. In such cases I ask that you either wait or see me at other times. My telephone number is 972-6525. I will be glad to answer your questions over the phone but it is almost impossible to help with homework assignments over the phone. It is much more likely that we will misunderstand each other than by talking face to face. So please come and see me with any questions you may have. You may also communicate with me by e-mail. My e-mail is ida@uakron.edu.
Course Outline: We will follow the textbook rather closely. The material covered includes chapters 1 and 2 (review only), chapters 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10. The topics are:
Chapter 1 and 2: Review of Vector Algebra and Calculus. (Very short review; < one week)
Chapter 3: Coulomb’s Law and the Electric Field
Chapter 4: Gauss’ Law and the Electric Potential
Chapter 5: Boundary Value Problems
Chapter 7: The Steady Electric Current
Chapter 8: The Static Magnetic Field
Chapter 9: Magnetic materials and Properties
Chapter 10: Faraday’s Law and Induction
Grading:
1st Exam 20% (Tentative: Monday, October 1)
2nd Exam 20% (Tentative: Monday, November 5)
3rd Exam 20% (Firm: Tuesday, November 20– see notes)
Homework 5%
Final Exam 35% (optional, see below)
Note: after the third exam, which will be given on the last week of the Semester, your initial grade will be computed using the following weights:
1st Exam 30%
2nd Exam 35%
3rd Exam 30%
Homework 5%
Notes:
1. The third exam is firm. I will be willing to move it back to any day that same week but will not move it after Thanksgiving week.
2. After the third exam, your initial grade will be computed using Option B. You will have this grade before you decide if you need or want to take the final exam.
3. The final exam will be given at the scheduled time. It is your choice to take it or not. If you do, your grade will be calculated based on Option A. If you do not take the final exam, your grade will be calculated based on Option B. There is no need to tell me of your choice but you are welcome to discuss it with me. The higher grade of the two options will be used. I will take the higher of Option A or Option B grade as your final grade.
4. The two options are designed so that students that do very well in mid-term exams do not need to take the final while those that did not do well can still improve their grades by taking the final exam.
5. Before each exam, I will make available sample exams. These will be posted on my web site – http://ee.ascs3.uakron.edu/ida/ under the heading Electromagnetics I, for downloading. The number of exams may vary but usually there will be two exams with solutions and one without solutions. The purpose of this third exam is for you to try on your own.
6. Exams are open book, open notes. You can use any material you wish. However, you are not allowed any connected device (no cell phones, laptops, etc.)
7. The textbook for the class is listed above. If you have a previous edition, you may still use that but please be aware that homework will be assigned from the third edition.
Homework: Will be assigned on Mondays (or the first class period we meet) and will be due on Monday (or the first class of the week we meet) of the following week. Homework will be corrected, graded and returned. Solutions to all homework problems will be posted. There will be no homework assigned on thanksgiving week so that you may enjoy the thanksgiving break. I will not accept late homework. Any homework that is not submitted by class time will not be graded.
Supporting material: Additional material (previous exams with solutions, some notes, etc.) will be made available from time to time. This material is optional.
Grader: The grader for this class is not yet known – I will announce that in class. Any questions about grading of homework assignments should be discussed with the grader. However, I will grade all exams so any questions about exams should be addressed to me.
Software: If you go to my website you will find two software programs you may download. You should download the first one (Electromagnetic Simulations) and use it throughout the semester. It deals with simulations to many of the issues we will study and may help in understanding. The second program (The Smith Chart) as well as parts of the first program deal with E&M II issues and will only be useful during the Spring Semester. The programs are written in Matlab.
