Electromagnetism

Below is the list of electromagnetism contents. Although they are mainly acquired from Year 1 and 2 Physics lecture notes, they are useful for the ESE’s “Gravity, Magnetism, and Orbital Dynamics” module.

Table of contents:

1. Electricity and magnetism

   • Coulomb’s law and the electric field

   • Electric potential

   • Magnetic flux

   • Lorentz force

   • Magnetic dipole moment

2. Maxwell’s equations

   • Gauss’s law

   • Gauss’s law for magnetism

   • Faraday’s law

   • Ampere - Maxwell equation

3. The four-field formalism

   • Polarisation and the D field

   • Magnetisation and the H field
