This introduction to electromagnetics emphasizes the computation of electromagnetic fields and the development of theoretical relations.
Beginning with the idea that Maxwell’s equations are primary,
the author avoids the lengthy of electrostatics and magnetostatics that are customary in texts on electromagnetism. Thus,after a chapter on the basics of vector calculus, the discussion begins with the electromagnetic field and Maxwell’s equations; the two following chapters then present the special cases of electrostatic and magnetostatic phenomena. Dynamics is introduced in chapter 5, and electromagnetic induction in chapter 6. The discussion of wave propagation and high-frequency fields in chapter 7 emphasizes such practicalmatters as propagation inlossy dielectrics, waveguides, and resonators. The remaining four chapters discuss computational techniques. mulate finite element solutions for static applications. In chapter 9, the finite element method is adapted for solution of dynamic problems using Galerkin’s residual method. Chapters 10 and11 discuss software issues associated with finite element techniques for field applications, solution methods, and program implementation.
