This introduction to electromagnetic fields emphasizes the computation of fields and the development of theoretical relations. It presents the electromagnetic field and Maxwell's equations with a view toward connecting the disparate applications to the underlying relations, along with computational methods of solving the equations.
Synopsis
Intended for undergraduate students of electrical engineering, this introduction to electromagnetic fields emphasizes the computation of fields as well as the development of theoretical relations. The first part thus presents the electromagnetic field and Maxwell's equations with a view toward connecting the disparate applications to the underlying relations, while the second part presents computational methods of solving the equations - which for most practical calses cannot be solved analytically.
Description
Includes bibliographical references (p. [549]-558) and index.
