Course Overview
The Electromagnetism programme by Swayam is an undergraduate course of twelve weeks. In this, students will learn, apply, and analyse how Maxwell’s equations govern electric and magnetic fields’ dynamics. This comprehensive curriculum falls under the ‘Physics’ domain and covers critical topics such as electrostatics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics, a magnetic field’s energies, dielectrics forces, spherical coordinate systems, and Faraday's law.
The Electromagnetism training also helps course-takers familiarise with vector calculus, Stoke’s theorem, Divergence theorem, and Dirac Delta function. Students will study the motion of charged particles in magnetic and electric fields, and gain fluency about the equation of continuity. With merely a prior knowledge in Calculus, aspirants can gain admission into this programme and start learning these concepts.
Moreover, the Electromagnetism certification course is an undergraduate-level one, and it is targeted at first-year B.Sc. students. This core programme offers a holistic syllabus and is free to learn from. However, candidates can achieve a digitally-verifiable certificate for this course by appearing for the proctored exam and completing the course.

Evaluation process
Students studying the Electromagnetism programme need to pay for the final proctored exam and appear for this test at the designated test centres. The evaluation is based on the average assignment score- 25% of the average of best eight assignments (out of total 12-course assignments), exam score- 75% of the proctored certification test marks (out of 100), and final score= exam score+ average assignment score.
Students will only be eligible for the course certificate if their test score is >=30/75 and average assignment score is >=10/25. If either of the criteria is not met, the student will not receive the certificate.
