Field Theory and EMC - A Short Summary on Educational Aspects

Abstract

In this contribution the authors summarize some aspects of electromagnetic field theory related to studies of electromagnetic compatibility and propose how they can be introduced in lectures in an attractive and interactive way. Simple examples with practical relevance are discussed that can serve as a motivation for students. In fact, presented fundamental field theory aspects for example with respect to the shielding of fields are commonly mistaken even at industrial working levels, so it is reasonable to anticipate this in EMC lectures.
