Electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Electromagnetism is a vast field developed for about four hundred years. Historically, electricity and magnetism were treated as separate subjects, but a series of discoveries revealed their deep connection. In 1820, Hans Christian Ørsted demonstrated that an electric current produces a magnetic field, showing for the first time that electricity and magnetism are related. Later, in 1831, Michael Faraday discovered the reverse effect: a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current.
These insights laid the groundwork for James Clerk Maxwell’s monumental work. Maxwell formulated a comprehensive theory of electromagnetism, initially expressed through 12 equations using quaternions. His equations unified the electric and magnetic fields, describing their interactions with charges and currents. Later, Oliver Heaviside refined Maxwell’s work simplifying the system into four concise equations using vector calculus.The set of equations are called Maxwell’s equations.
But what is the essence of these four equations? What do they tell us? Are they just another four equations that electromagnetic fields must respect? Or are they something more? These are the burning questions at the core of Electromagnetism. Community of Physics is going to arrange a workshop on electromagnetism, which will be a great opportunity for those who want to delve into the core of Electromagnetism.
Maxwell's equations are crucial for understanding how electric and magnetic fields behave, from the propagation of light to the operation of electrical circuits. They form the cornerstone of modern electromagnetism, and any physics student must develop a deep understanding of these equations and their broad applicability.

Any undergraduate and pre-undergraduate student can apply to participate in the workshop.
The registration fee for the workshop is decided at an amount of BDT 1000. It enables us to provide the participants a seamless experience by means of imparting lunches, snacks, souvenirs, etc. on each day of the workshop.
The selection process is need-blind. The applicant may request for a partial or full waiver (scholarship) upon selection. Community of Physics will pay the fee (or a portion of it) on behalf of the selected applicant if the request for their scholarship is accepted.
