To study the application of Coulomb’s Law and Gauss Law for electric fields produced by different charge configurations.

To study different coordinate systems for understanding the concept of gradient, divergence, and curl of a vector.The way in which charges and currents interact with the electromagnetic field is described by Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law.įrom a classical perspective in the history of electromagnetism, the electromagnetic field can be regarded as a smooth, continuous field, propagated in a wavelike manner whereas, from the perspective of quantum field theory, the field is seen as quantized, being composed of individual particles The electric field is produced by stationary charges, and the magnetic field by moving charges (currents) these two are often described as the sources of the field. The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. It is one of the four fundamental forces of nature (the others are gravitation, the weak interaction and strong interaction). The electromagnetic field extends indefinitely throughout space and describes the electromagnetic interaction. An electromagnetic field (also EMF or EM field) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field.
