BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE, Pilani Pilani Campus, AUGS/ AGSR Division ‘SECOND SEMESTER 2021-22 COURSE HANDOUT Date: 18/01/2022 In addition o part I (General Handout forthe course append tothe time table) this portion gives further specific details regarding course Course No. PHY F241 Course Title + Electromagnetic Theory IL Instructors + RR Mishra 1. Course Description : The course constitutes the second half of a comprehensive course on electromagnetic theory. It covers the following main topics - Review of Maxwell’s equations, Conservation Theorems of Electrodynamic systems, Electromagnetic radiation and Relativistic formulation of electrodynamics. 2. Scope and objective : The course will take as staring point Maxwell’s equations, which form the core of electrodynamics, and go through certain implications of these equations, namely, conservation theorems for an electromagnetic system, electromagnetic radiation. It wll also include the relativistic formulation Electrodynamics. 3. Text Book: David Griffiths, J, Introduction to Electrodynamics, PHI Learning Private Limited, 3" Ed., 2010, 4.
