Pre-Quantum Electrodynamics

Fundamentals: After properly studying this module, you should be able to:

• give the definition of the electromotive force
• state Faraday's law (integral and differential forms)
• define inductance and self-inductance
• write down the formula for the energy of a magnetic field
• define the displacement current
• state Maxwell's modification to Ampère's law
• write the four Maxwell equations (in vacuum)
• define the polarization current density
• write the four Maxwell equations (in matter)

Applications: As a strict minimum, you should be able to:

• derive the boundary conditions for EM fields at the interface between two different media
