Problem solving related to the various parts of the course.

Intended learning outcomes

In addition to the knowledge acquired from the course 2A1860 Electromagnetism for CL, the students shall

- solve simple electrostatic boundary value problems

- analyse momentum in electromagnetic fields

- analyse propagation in rectangular waveguides

- explain the meaning of retardation

- use Maxwell’s to calculate the fields from dynamic charge/current distributions

- calculate the fields from simple antennas and antenna systems

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Other requirements for final grade

Two written examinations (TENA; 1,5cr.), (TENB; 1,5cr.).

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
