Slide Presentations For ECE 329, Introduction To Electromagnetic Fields, To Supplement "Elements of Engineering Electromagnetics, Sixth Edition"

1) The document discusses potential functions for static electromagnetic fields, describing how the electric field E is equal to the negative gradient of the electric potential V, and how the potential difference between two points A and B is defined as the integral of E along the path from A to B. 2) It shows that for a point charge Q located at an arbitrary position P, the potential V is equal to Q divided by 4πε times the distance R from P. 3) A method is described for calculating the potential V at a point due to a line of charge distribution using integration, with an example given of a line of charge along the z-axis.
