If you want to apply electrodynamics to your materials research project, this Specialization will help you do so. Electromagnetic force is one of the fundamental forces that hold atoms and molecules together, which are the building blocks of any materials. In four courses, you will learn the foundations of electrodynamics, starting from the nature of electrical force up to the level of in-depth solutions of Maxwell's equations. We will walk you through vector calculus, concepts of field, flux and circulation, electrostatics, and magnetostatics as well as electrodynamics. By the end of this Specialization you will understand four beautiful equations organized by Maxwell in a full picture. Special relativity will be covered as well to grasp the idea that magnetism is a relativistic effect of electricity. The approach taken in this Specialization complements traditional approaches, covering a fairly complete treatment of the physics of electricity and magnetism, and adds Feynman’s unique and vital approach of grasping a whole picture of the physical universe. In addition, this Specialization uniquely bridges the gap between the knowledge of electrodynamics and its practical applications to research in materials science, information technology, electrical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, energy storage, energy harvesting, and other materials-related fields.

Very good course as an introductory. But need some review because it's going be tough for begineers who have no experience in vector calculus course.

I am a 12th grade student and still I was able to Understand everything The course was beautifully presented
UZ
This course is very depply understanding of Electric and Magnetic phenomenon. Also very hard but very useful for research works. I am strongly recommend this course.
DK
Excellent explaination of concepts, in mere future I shall be happy to attend more lectures on it
SM
A very well composed introductory course in electrodynamics. Thanks to the professor for such a very good course.
SL
Thank you , this second course of electrodynamics helped me to get a deeper understanding of electrical phenomena..
SR
This is some what in-depth course. You can learn magneto statics clearly without any doubt.
JK
Great learning experience with good teaching methods!
AB
It would be nice to have more active support in the discussion forum.
VS
Excellent course offered by Korean advanced of science and technology
F
this caurse helps me to increase skills in electric and magnetic fields

I did all the courses in this specialization.Thank you so much. I used to have an electromagnetism-phobia , but now I'm confident.

when you become interested in Electrodynamics and your major is not EE, then it will help you to understand what it is.
It was my immense pleasure to be part of this insightful course. I found it quite profound. Thank you so much. Keep up the good job!
The course has been very well designed and has right emphasis on basics. I'm extremely grateful to Professor Seungbum Hong for his painstaking effort. Longing to continue the next part of the course. Thanks Coursera.
A reasonably good explanations and lectures seem a bit quite lengthy. But the course content and interaction is quite satisfying.
Great course, great Professor, great assistant, very clear, well-paced. Ready for next course.
It is a good beginners course, Dr.Seungbum Hong explains it in a detailed manner, Even if you don't understand a few points in the beginning , as you go through the course you will get the feel of what is happening. The examples practical examples that he gives and the way he connects it to the topic is great. Assignments are little too easy, not at all lengthy , If you listen to the lectures properly and go through the slides and make note of points , they wouldn't take even 5min to solve. Overall, My experience was pretty good and I learnt something new from the course.
Fantastic course. The lectures are lucid and concise. The lecturers do a fantastic job of giving a deep intuition of the topic and the mathematics behind it. The course is based on The Feynmann Lectures. In the first week, they give a big picture view of Maxwell's Equations and they derive and apply it in the following weeks. The course contains a really nice section on Vector Calculus covering divergence, gradient, curl, laplacian, Stoke's and Gauss' theorems so only minimal experience with the subject is required
It seems to me that the quality of explanation becomes lower on week 5 . Beside that , it was really helpful and clear and open minded to me .
Exceptionally well deigned course to clear the basics of electromagnetism.
For me the ordering of the weeks made the course a bit more difficult: the fourth and the fifth week has many intuitive concepts which clarifies the mathematics of the second and third week. Apart from that the course is very fine it is rigorous, interesting but totally explains of the details of electrostatics.
Good course for beginners with some mathematical background
This was a really fun introduction to electrodynamics, it was quite engaging an had really good pacing. The question based approach and the less formal chats between the professor and the assistant made the subject a lot more digestible and interesting. I am excited to start the next course in the series already. Thank you to Professor Seungbum Hong and Melodie Glasser.
Excellent course. Good instruction through lecture videos and the provision of notes in PDF format. They did a great job covering the basics with in depth conceptual and mathematical explanations. Quizzes met my expectations for what a good quiz should be; making sure you understand the material covered in lecture, nothing less and nothing more than that.
The explanations are very understandable. The illustrations are presented in such a way that listeners can clearly picture out what's happening. I am grateful to this course because I learned many new things, especially the physical meaning of the equations and how they describe charges, including that of Maxwell's.
I learned Oscillating electrical charges result in electromagnetic waves. On a larger scale, electromagnetism is the creation of a magnetic field from the movement of electrical charges. It usually concerns the use of electric current to make electromagnets, which is called electrodynamics.
I'm facing problem with English slang of Professor in some areas of his video lectures. Content slides are extraordinary and easy to understand the concepts. Assistant faculty was good. Assignments are not easy. This is a worthy course. Thank you.
Благодарю организаторов за такой курс, доступно объясняют, лекции с примерами легко воспринимаются. Очень удобно в плане того, что мы работаем, днем мало свободного времени, а вечером можно позаниматься, Дальнейших успехов и процветания.
Well organized and excellently taught! Little tough for the beginners but after some revision, could understand the topics and complete the course. Suggestion to create a course on "Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Polymers"...
Short and concise course getting you up to speed on basic electrodynamics. Not the most in depth, and mathematically rigorous, but perfect refresher or intro that isn't too demanding.
