Classical Electromagnetism is a branch of physics that studies the interactions between electric and magnetic fields. It is based on the theories and equations developed by James Clerk Maxwell in the 19th century, which are known as Maxwell’s equations.

These equations describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields in a vacuum, and how they are affected by charges and currents. They also show how changing electric fields can create magnetic fields, and vice versa. This relationship between electric and magnetic fields is known as electromagnetism.

Classical Electromagnetism also includes the study of how electric and magnetic fields interact with matter, such as conductors, insulators, and magnetic materials. This is important in understanding the behavior of electronic devices and circuits.

The lectures provided in the link above cover various topics related to Classical Electromagnetism, including electrostatics, magnetostatics, electromagnetic induction, transmission lines, and antennas. They also discuss the use of mathematical tools such as phasors, impedance, and admittance to analyze and solve problems in electromagnetism.

This field of study has been crucial in the development of modern technology, including telecommunications, power generation, and electronics. It also serves as the foundation for more advanced theories such as quantum electrodynamics, which explain the behavior of electromagnetic fields at the atomic and subatomic level.

In summary, Classical Electromagnetism is a fundamental theory that helps us understand the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions with matter. It has numerous applications
