P. Leuchtmann, ETH Zurich Courses Currently I am teaching the courses Fields and components I/II  (in german: Felder und Komponenten I/II).  "Fields and components I" is an undergraduate course for electrical engineering students in the third semester dealing with basics in electromagnetic fields including concepts for solving Maxwell's equations and an extensive description of the relationship between the field quantities and the circuit theory quantities current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, inductance, impedance etc. "Fields and components II" is an undergraduate course for electrical engineering students in the forth semester. It deals with EM-waves first in free space and then with their reflection and transmission, with transmission line theory, waveguides, optical fibres and finally with basics of antennas. The picture shows the behavior of the magnetic field on a two wire line. Note the large difference in the propagation speed along the line and in penetrating the wire, as well as the skin effekt and proximity effekt. For more details, see the larger version of this movie (2.3 Megabyte.) Students may see the list of current exercices I and list of current exercices II (in german) and some infos on the exams (in german). Field Movies For some cases you can admire animated representations of the electromagnetic field related to it. Click the respective case you are interested in: Scattering at a sphere. Magnetic field and Skin effect on 2-wire line. Scattering at a lossy wall. Field of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Field of power line (with comments in german). Semester- and Diploma Theses See the respective list in the teaching section of the Field Theory Group. Last update: March 24, 2010
