Fundamental Electromagnetics Concepts
This Fundamental Electromagnetics Concepts Learning Track was developed by Dr. Kathryn Leigh Smith at the University of North Carolina - Charlotte in partnership with Ansys. It serves as an e-learning resource for the fundamental concepts of electromagnetics. It starts by introducing the basics of vector algebra, which form the foundation of electromagnetic theory. Advanced concepts such as electromagnetics and magnetostatics are introduced subsequently. This learning track is a precursor to more advanced topics that can further your knowledge of electromagnetics.

Basics of Vector Algebra
This course provides an introduction to vector algebra and to the three most common coordinate systems. The four basic functions of vector algebra — addition, subtraction, dot products and cross products — are discussed both graphically and symbolically in each of the thr...Read more

Innovation Course
Magnetostatics in Free space
This course introduces the theory of static magnetic, or magnetostatic, fields. Discussion topics include Biot-Savart’s Law, Ampere’s Law and magnetic potential, which help you to calculate magnetic fields resulting from various current distributions. This course was created for Ansys Innovation Courses by Kathryn Leigh Smith, Assistant Professor, UNC-Charlotte in partnership with Ansys.

Electrostatic Interactions
In this course, we will discuss several fundamental laws of electrostatics in the context of materials, including the constitutive relation and its ramifications for the free-space equations we developed in the Electrostatics In Free Space course, the boundary condition...Read more

Magnetostatic Material Interactions
In this course, we will discuss several fundamental laws of magnetostatics, in the context of materials. We’ll begin by looking at the constitutive relation between B and H, then move to boundary conditions of the magnetic field at the interface between two me...Read more
