In this unit you will develop theoretical knowledge and understanding of electromagnetism from electric charge to more advanced topics such as electrostatics, Maxwell's equations, electromagnetic waves, physical optics and applications such as waveguides. It will extend your mathematical knowledge and techniques from earlier units to explore and analyse these advanced physics concepts. This unit will provide advanced knowledge and real-world skills which will enhance your employability in technology based jobs.","title-full":"PVB305 Electromagnetism and Optics","title-short":"Electromagnetism and Optics","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=PVB305&year=2026","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=PVB305","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=PVB305"},"year":2026,"years":[2026]}
