Lehrveranstaltung

Content

The lecture includes topics from the areas:

• Multipole expansion
• Green's Functions of Electrodynamics
• Scattering of electromagnetic waves
• Stratton-Chu formula
• Reciprocity (Tellegen's theorem)
• Differential forms in electrodynamics
• Energy principles (Hamilton formalism)
• Electromagnetic field impulse (radiation pressure)
• Special theory of relativity (covariant formulation, Lorentz transformation)
• Forces in the electromagnetic field (Maxwell stress tensor, virtual displacement)
• Electromagnetic resonators
• Lienard-Wiechert potential
• Radiation from moving charges

Further topics can be included on the suggestion of the students.

Procedure

Every student gives a lecture. The team of the chair will present other topics. The topics and course dates are agreed in a preliminary meeting at the beginning of the semester. In order to enable participants to prepare adequately for each course, written documents will be handed out at least one week before the respective lecture date.

Effort approx. 90 hours

Examination modalities

• Elaboration and lecture on an agreed topic
