Electromagnetic Fields in 3-D

Learners enrolled: 92

This course related to electromagnetic fields is useful for many universities' syllabus . Animations in this  course  are self-explanatory. . Here are some points considered while making this course.

1.   This subject is considered as one of the toughest subjects in electrical as well as electronics engineering. What I observed was that we need to adapt methods differently for understanding the problem. Explaining mathematical expressions physically in three dimensions was a nice solution.

2.  Topic selection was on the basis of actual requirement of the student for understanding the subject core very clearly. This led me to not confining it to a specific university pattern but something which is essential for every university.

3.  It is observed by many teachers that hours allotted to this subject are very less compared to its actual requirement. Which I tried to reduce by making the imagination process broader and simple.

4. This course stresses on removing fear of this subject by explaining it in a simple language with necessary examples rather than including multiple examples. This course focuses on making students competent to solve numerical problems by gaining the actual 3-D situation.
