Course Description
This course enables students to grasp the basic phenomenon of electromagnetic movement, basic concepts and basic laws, and learn to analyze and solve the basic problems of electromagnetism. By discussing the process of the establishment of the theory of electromagnetism, the basic paradigm of the physical researchwill be presented.
The arrangement of the teaching content will be rich to stimulate students to think deeply, and to letsecondary students understand the lecture. While explaining the principles of electromagnetism, it is also a concise representation of the development of the electromagnetics from its birth to the present time. It also discusses the physical principles and deep philosophical thoughts in the electromagnetic phenomena. Through the discussion of electromagnetic phenomena, students will gain a good foundation of electromagnetics, have a deeper understanding of the essence of physical phenomena and universality, adapt to the transition from high school to university, and have a good foundation and preparation for future development.
