Program
(Applicable only to targeted subjects for undergraduate students)
Learn the basics of electromagnetism, one of the most fundamental fields of physics.
This course is one of the most important subjects in the field of nature exploration, and its content is necessary even after the third grade. Therefore, it is a compulsory subject for students who choose the Nature Exploration Area Condensed Matter Science, so must be take it.

・The ability and skills to specify necessary theories and methods for consideration of issues. 
Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The purpose of this course is to understand the fundamental concepts of phenomena related to electricity in electromagnetism. For this purpose, practice problems for each item are imposed as report assignments, and quizzes are also given as appropriate.
The goal of "knowledge and understanding" : To be able to visualize the phenomena and principles of electromagnetism. Concretely, it must be possible to show it in a graph. The goal of "ability/skill" : To show an equation using laws and to be able to explain it logically in a logical manner.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Electromagnetism at university is somewhat abstract, with heavy use of mathematical expressions for describing fields in three-dimensional space. Therefore, it is important to understand the content through solving the exercises, so we will also explain the exercises a lot. You will study with an emphasis on review. In addition, for each item content, we will assign practice problems related to the lecture as a report. The content will be a review, so please understand it well.
In addition, a quiz (mini-test) will be given once every few times. 
Requirements It is desirable to have taken Fundamental Physics I and II, but we will consider those who have not taken them.
It is strongly recommended that you also take Exercise in Physical Sciences I and Basic Experimental Methods for Physics / Fundamental Laboratory Work in Physics. 
Grading Method Final examination 70% Report and mini-test 30%
