What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content

All of electrical and electronic engineering are governed by electromagnetics. This paper provides an introduction to electric and magnetic fields, their properties and their interactions with materials. There is particular focus on application in devices such as capacitors, inductors & transformers, motors, and relays, including how to design simple components with particular properties.

This paper starts by considering electric potential, electric fields and dielectrics, including basic theory. Then magnetic fields are introduced, including the magnetic effects of currents and permanent magnets and applications such as motors. Finally, the two concepts are combined together, with electromagnetic induction. Laboratory sessions focus on applications, beginning with computer simulation and simple design, and then the winding and characterisation of simple inductive devices.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/
