Abstract

Electromagnetic theory is one of the core subjects in Electrical/ Electronics and Communication Engineering. It involves many concepts that are abstract and difficult to visualize, hence learning or teaching it is a challenge. This paper presents a web based virtual laboratory for electromagnetic theory course taught at undergraduate level, which can be used as a didactic tool by teachers and as a self learning tool by students. A set of ten topics have been chosen which broadly cover the basics of electromagnetic theory. The laboratory helps the students to visualize and experiment with abstract concepts of electromagnetic theory. It also contains theory supporting the experiment to aid teaching-learning process. The laboratory contains evaluation sections to assess student's understanding before and after performing virtual experiment. Assessment of the virtual lab done by evaluating students and feedback about the laboratory collected from both teachers and students are presented.
