Electromagnetic Fields, Forces, and Motion
MIT's graduate course 6.641 covers the electric and magnetic quasistatic forms of Maxwell's equations applied to dielectric, conduction, and magnetization boundary value problems. Topics include electromagnetic forces, force densities, and stress tensors involving magnetization and polarization, thermodynamics of electromagnetic fields, equations of motion, and energy conservation. The course applies these principles to synchronous, induction, and commutator machines, plus sensors, transducers, and microelectromechanical systems, and covers propagation and stability of electromechanical waves along with charge transport phenomena. Materials come from MIT OpenCourseWare and include homework problems, solutions, and exams transcribed into LaTeX. This is an advanced electrical engineering course building on earlier study of electromagnetism, aimed at students who already have a foundation in field theory and want to see it applied to real electromechanical systems and devices.
