Mandatory Course Key Areas - Aug 2018

Knowledge of the unification of electricity and magnetism.

Knowledge that electromagnetic radiation exhibits wave properties as it transfers energy through space. It has both electric and magnetic field components which oscillate in phase, perpendicular to each other and to the direction of energy propagation.

Use of an appropriate relationship to solve problems involving the speed of light, the permittivity of free space and the permeability of free space.
