Content will focus on concepts and practical application of Maxwell's equations aiming to develop understanding of fundamental effects of electromagnetism and optics. This includes guiding, radiation and scattering of electromagnetic waves, and particle dynamics in electromagnetic fields. Content will also include the relativistic formulation of Maxwell's equations and application of the relativistic formulation of Maxwell's equations. This course is co-taught with undergraduate students but assessed separately.
