Finite Difference Solution of Electrodynamic Problems

Finite difference solution of electrodynamic problems Introducing the finite difference method to undergraduate students has been restricted to simple problems which have no bearing in the world of reality in which the students live. In this paper, we present in simple terms some non-trivial, real life problems as covered in a classroom setting at Temple University.
