课程重点
Electromagnetic Interactions is a second course in electromagnetism. Its emphasis is on those topics that are of particular interest to Nuclear Engineering, Plasma Sciences, and Radiation Sciences, but it provides a quite broad fundamental coverage of the principles of electromagnetism developed from Maxwell's equations.
It will be of interest to physics and engineering students who are interested in the practical applications of electromagnetic interactions in a range of fields as well as in developing their understanding of how to apply Maxwell's equations to specific problems.
课程描述
Principles and applications of electromagnetism, starting from Maxwell's equations, with emphasis on phenomena important to nuclear engineering and radiation sciences. Solution methods for electrostatic and magnetostatic fields. Charged particle motion in those fields. Particle acceleration and focussing. Collisions with charged particles and with atoms. Electromagnetic waves, wave emission by accelerated particles, Bremsstrahlung. Compton scattering. Photoionization. Elementary applications to ranging, shielding, imaging, and radiation effects.
