Project on Electricity & Magnetism(Topic Suggestions needed)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on selecting a project topic for a course on Electricity and Magnetism, with an emphasis on incorporating computational elements. The original poster seeks suggestions for specific topics that are not overly broad but still relevant to the subject matter. Participants in the discussion highlight the need for more detailed information regarding the course level, existing knowledge, and available computational tools, such as finite-element analysis software, to provide meaningful suggestions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Electricity and Magnetism concepts

So I have taken up this course on Electricity and Magnetism and we need to prepare a project as in not very broad as such but for example, attempting to solve a problem or something that is related to the subject but off the course. I'd like to involve computation too in some form or the other so it would be really helpful if anybody could suggest some topics. Thank you !

This is extremely vague.

At what level is this "... course on Electricity and Magnetism..."? What are you expected to know, and what do you already know? Were you given any guideline by the instructor on what topics are relevant but still "... off the course..."? And what you said that you'd like it to "... involve computation...", what software packages do you have, or do you plan on writing your own codes? Do you have access to finite-element analysis packages? Have you used one? And if you plan on writing your own codes, have you done numerical analysis/computation?

Do you notice now how much information that you left out?
