Underlying mathematical techniques, including vector calculus, will be introduced alongside the physical laws. The module is taught by a combination of lectures and problem solving tutorials.<\/p>\n<h4>Aims<\/h4>\n<p>1.To develop a knowledge and critical understanding in the area of Electromagnetism including the origin and limitations of the associated laws.<br \/>\n2. To develop a knowledge and critical understanding of mathematical techniques associated with Electromagnetism.<br \/>\n3. To develop analytical, numerical and computer-based problem solving skills in the area of Electromagnetism.<\/p>\n<h4>Knowledge &amp; Understanding<\/h4>\n<p>On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n<p>1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of the laws and their origins in the area of Electromagnetism.<br \/>\n2. Demonstrate competence in the specification of problems using the laws of Electromagnetism and their analytical and numerical solution.<br \/>\n3. Demonstrate communication through written material.<\/p>\n<h4>Learning, Teaching and Assessment<\/h4>\n<p>The module is taught through a combination of lectures and tutorial classes.<\/p>\n<p>Interactive tutorial classes will prepare students for assessments through a series of problem-solving exercises with associated formative feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Assignment \u2013 An extended problem-solving exercise requiring a description and justification of methodology used together with the use of analytical and computational means to provide final solutions and a critical evaluation of the solution obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Exam \u2013 A series of questions demonstrating an understanding of the topic together with application to straightforward problems that can be solved using analytical means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FHEQ Level: Level 5 (Second Year) Credits: 20 Module Code: F300 20040 Course Reference Number (CRN): 59408 Delivery: September Start, Trimesters 1 &amp; 2 (Long Thin) Syllabus Outline \u2022 Vector Calculus \u2022 Gradient, Divergence, Flux and Curl \u2022 Stokes\u2019 and Gauss\u2019 theorems \u2022 Gauss\u2019s Law \u2022 Biot and Savart and Ampere\u2019s Law \u2022 Faraday\u2019s Law &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/module-electromagnetism\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Module &#8211; Electromagnetism<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1271","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1271"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2331,"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1271\/revisions\/2331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/salfordphysics.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
