| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Upon successful completion of the course, students are able to explain the concepts of classical electrodynamics in the areas listed below. They can transfer their knowledge to systematically solve more advanced physical problems. Furthermore, they are able to apply problem-solving methods to concrete examples.
This exercise thematically builds upon the exercise and lecture Theoretische Elektrodynamik I and is methodically complemented by the lecture Theoretische Elektrodynamik II.

| Skills |
Knowledge |
Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to
- explain physical problems and concepts as well as mathematical solutions (k2);
- develop mathematical solutions to physical problems in the field of electrodynamics (k3);
- transfer concepts and solution approaches to new and unknown problems, and select and apply suitable mathematical methods (k3/k4);
- present their solutions to the group and discuss different approaches (k3/k4).
|
As a continuation of Theoretical Electrodynamics I, students acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of electrodynamics:
- electromagnetic radiation: retarded potentials, radiation of accelerated point charges, radiant power, antennas, dipole approximation, light scattering;
- electrodynamics in matter: derivation of electrodynamics in matter, dielectric response, causality and Kramers-Kronig relations, wave propagation in matter, boundary conditions and laws of refraction, dispersion in matter;
- theory of relativity: inertial systems and the principle of relativity, derivation of the Lorentz transformation, covariant notation, tensors, proper time, Maxwell's equations in covariant formulation.
