The course introduces to stationary, quasi-stationary and variable electromagnetic fields. The main topics are: electrostatic field, current field, magnetostatic field, quasi-stationary magnetic field. The explanation of electromagnetic phenomena is addressed using analytical methods. At the end of the course, in order to solve typical application problems in electrical engineering, a numerical code based on the finite element method will be introduced for the analysis of magnetic field configurations.

The teaching of applied electromagnetism allows to acquire the following skills: 1. Be able to apply analytical methodologies to electromagnetic systems with both lumped and distributed parameters. 2. Know the analytical solutions of simple cases, to be used as reference for more complex problems that require a numerical approach. 3. Be able to use software for numerical field calculations, understand its functioning, and analyse the results.

The course consists of lectures and classroom exercises that illustrate the course content. Some topics, related to technology transfer issues, will be presented in seminar format. The course also includes an experimental laboratory in which measurement techniques will be demonstrated for cases of practical interest.

Modalitą di esame: Prova scritta (in aula);
Exam: Written test;
... The exam consists of a written test, lasting approximately one and a half hours, involving the solution of three exercises similar to those covered during the course. During the written test, students are allowed to use notes taken during the lectures, and scientific calculators are permitted. The student must demonstrate the ability to apply appropriate methodologies for the analysis of electromagnetic problems. A critical ability to interpret the numerical results obtained is required, based on the knowledge of solutions to simple reference cases, as illustrated in the section on expected learning outcomes.
Gli studenti e le studentesse con disabilitą o con Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento (DSA), oltre alla segnalazione tramite procedura informatizzata, sono invitati a comunicare anche direttamente al/la docente titolare dell'insegnamento, con un preavviso non inferiore ad una settimana dall'avvio della sessione d'esame, gli strumenti compensativi concordati con l'Unitą Special Needs, al fine di permettere al/la docente la declinazione pił idonea in riferimento alla specifica tipologia di esame.

In addition to the message sent by the online system, students with disabilities or Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) are invited to directly inform the professor in charge of the course about the special arrangements for the exam that have been agreed with the Special Needs Unit. The professor has to be informed at least one week before the beginning of the examination session in order to provide students with the most suitable arrangements for each specific type of exam.
