Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to
- understand and explain basic concepts and computational methods of classical electrodynamics (k1/k2);
- formulate and interpret theoretical concepts of electrodynamics in a precise and analytical way (k3);
- transfer the theoretical concepts of electrodynamics to other advanced physical problems (k3/k4).

During the course, students acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of classical electrodynamics in a vacuum:
- repetition of vector analysis;
- concept of fields, charges and currents, basic equations of electrodynamics (Maxwell's equations);
- concept of potentials and boundary conditions in electrostatics, concept of image charge, electrostatic energy, methods for boundary value problems, spherical harmonics and multipole expansion;
- magnetostatics, Biot-Savart law, magnetic fields of current-carrying conductors, magnetic dipole;
- gaugelessness in electrodynamics;
- scalar and vector potential;
- wave equation;
- derivation of retarded potentials.
