Electromagnetics or electromagnetism accounts for approximately 5 to 8 questions on the Electrical FE exam. These questions can cover the Maxwell Equations, Electrostatics, Magnetostatics, Wave Propagation, Transmission Lines and Electromagnetic Compatibility. Electromagnetism is the study of the relationship between magnetism and electricity (current & voltage). Electromagnetism is important because this relationship serves as the basis for nearly all electric equipment like transformers, motors and generators.
The NCEES FE Reference Handbook has some basic equations for the topics below, but it does not explain the skills and concepts necessary to use these equations. You should learn the skills and concepts presented in this section and go through the handbook to confirm that you know how to use the basic equations.
