This is the second semester of a two-part intermediate course (Physics 385 & 386) for Astrophysics and Physics - -Professional option majors and others who wish a thorough discussion of the fundamental laws of electromagnetism, including electric and magnetic fields and potentials, conductors, dielectrics and capacitors, inductance, Maxwell's equations, and electromagnetic radiation. It is intended as an integral part of the sequence for physics and astrophysics majors who intend to pursue PhD studies. The emphasis will be on the physical concepts and mathematical methods for describing electromagnetism, with less attention to practical applications.
