The crash course in electromagnetics is aimed to give master students a brief introduction to the physical interaction between electric charges, magnetic moments and electromagnetic field. The original course was a two-week physical lecture. From 2025, the course was changed to electronic version to allow students to study the course videos more flexibly during 6 weeks from week 35 to 40.
The course is voluntary, no registration is required, no exam or compulsory exercises.
The following course schedule lists the slides and lecture notes used in previous physical lectures , including exercises, solutions. In addition, the course video ( in Norwegian) links are listed in reference.
Course Schedule:
