Applications of magnetic field management in teaching electromagnetics
Student projects based upon the application of quasi-static electromagnetic principles to the analysis and design of magnetic field management systems are described. One specific example is described in some detail-the example involves mapping of magnetic field structure due to a real configuration of transformer source conductors and comparison of calculated with measured results
Can computers really help students understand electromagnetics
Some motivations and experiences of a professor who became active twelve years ago in the development of educational software for use in teaching and learning engineering electromagnetics are described. Categories of educational tools are defined, exemplified, discussed, and ranked in order of effectiveness. The author provides opinions as to what has and has not been accomplished. >
Visualizations of the integral forms of Maxwell's equations through interactive computer graphics
The author describes educational software which provides students with tools for visualizing the significance of the integral laws which underlie applied electromagnetics, and for obtaining insights into interrelationships between electric and magnetic fields and their sources. EILP, the electric integral law program, allows the student to specify positions and magnitudes of line charges using a mouse. The program computes and draws equipotential…
Charge Simulation and Interactive Computer Graphics in a First Course in Applied Electromagnetics
A personal computer program for analysis of electrostatic boundary value problems, based upon charge simulation, is described. The program provides students in the Electrical Engineering curriculum at Carnegie-Mellon University with color graphics representations of potential field structures for arbitrary boundary geometries, specified with a graphics tablet or input data file. Charge simulation is an attractive numerical analysis tool in an edu…
Enhanced Capabilities for a Student-Oriented Finite Element Electrostatic Potential Program
Several enhancements to FINEL, a student-oriented finite element program for electrostatic potential problems, and PLOTR, an associated plotting program, are described. These include incorporation of specified charge density within the solution region, specification of material regions with differing relative permittivities, "ballooning" for description of open boundary conditions, energy storage computation, and several convenience features
A Student-Oriented Finite Element Program for Electrostatic Potential Problems
The use of FINEL, a finite element program for electrostatic potential problems, in an electrical and computer engineering undergraduate course in field analysis at Carnegie-Mellon University is described. Motivation for this coverage derives from the widespread introduction and rapid growth of the method in the context of practical applications. FINEL is accompanied by PLOTR, a program for drawing the finite element grid and equipotential lines …
Dynamic Electric and Magnetic Field Evolutions with Computer Graphics Display
The introduction of purely static electric and magnetic field structures in a first undergraduate field analysis course often is made without due attention paid to relevance to physical phenomena and engineering systems. It is the dynamic nature of the fields in transient configurations that defines useful modeling concepts and idealizations. An interactive computer graphics system has been implemented at Cargnegie-Mellon University to display dy…
