PERIODO: MAGGIO


To deepen some aspects of the mathematical-physics of electromagnetism, usually not discussed within the courses for the engineering degree, improving the qualification in the electromagnetic theory and fostering the critical ability required for the solution of applied problems.
NOTE: If required by the background of the attendees, some time will be spent in revising basic concepts of the electromagnetic theory. The lectures will be held in Italian or in English according to the audience

Programma del corso:


1) Physical interpretation of the differential operators; generalized coordinates; decomposition theorem.
2) Analysis of the local form of Maxwell’s equations; macroscopic view and validity of the model; integral version of the equations in the most general form; electromagnetic induction and flux rule; Galilean limits of electromagnetism.
3) Electromagnetic potentials; gauge transformation; propagation of the electromagnetic potentials; features and validity of Coulomb and Lorenz gauges; other gauges.
4) Boundary value problems in electromagnetism; Green’s theorem and application to Laplace/Poisson equations; vector analog of Green’s theorem and direct integration of the field equations; direct integration in time domain and Jefimenko’s equations; Kirchhoff’s formula in both frequency and time domains; examples of numerical setting of the boundary value problems.

In order to set the agenda of the lectures, all interested students are kindly asked to contact the teacher by e-mail in advance.
