It also introduces and develops the use of the electric and magnetic field vectors and relates them byconsidering electromagnetic induction at a classical level. The connection between these fields and conventional circuit parameters R, C178
and L is developed, together with the techniques to deal with elementary transient phenomena. Sound, basic geometrical optics andradioactivity and its detection are also covered.
