Electric and magnetic fields : An introduction
This book presents an introduction to electromagnetic theory based on the author's ten years of experience in lecturing on the subject to engineering undergraduates. The emphasis throughout is on physical principles and mathematics is kept to a minimum, although a review of the mathematical methods available for the solution of more advanced problems is provided. The theory is based on the simple experimental laws of Coulomb, Ampère, Faraday, etc. and is developed as far as the derivation of Maxwell's equations. Vector notation is used but no previous knowledge of vector methods is assumed. More space than usual has been devoted to a discussion of the concept of flux and of the meaning of electric and magnetic fields inside a material medium. The treatment is designed to apply to non-isotropic, non-linear media, as well as to those for which nttivity and permeability are constants. The problems at the end of each chapter have been chosen to test the student's knowledge of principles and answers are provided.
is is a textbook suitable for first and second-year under- graduates studying engineering or physics and will also interest teachers of electromagnetic theory.
