Electromagnetic Field Theory

Description

This book is an accessible and comprehensive textbook designed for undergraduate students in electronics engineering and postgraduate students in engineering physics. The book takes a progressive approach, building in complexity as it guides students through the fundamental principles of electromagnetism and their applications. After reading this book, students will be able to take up problems in the interface of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.
This text excels in its clear and intuitive presentation of key concepts, unifying theoretical precision with practical understanding. Developed from classroom-tested materials used to teach electrical engineering students for over two decades, it explains Gauss’s and Stokes’ theorems, and Gauss’s and Coulomb’s laws of electrostatics, in both integral and differential forms. This textbook unifies intuitiveness with the extraordinary precision of its terminology and the derivation of concepts. Developed as a manuscript to teach students in electrical engineering, this book has served to do so for thousands of students over two decades.
Each chapter includes numerous worked examples and problems, chapter summaries and background review sections, offering students robust support for their learning. The book introduces undergraduate students to the basic concepts of electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, followed by Maxwell’s equations, propagation, transmission, and radiation. Additionally, this book can also come in handy for physicists and other branches of science. The author is vastly experienced in his field and is a recipient of many accolades.
