Master the fundamentals of undergraduate electromagnetics with this concise and accessible textbook, linking theoretical principles to real-world engineering applications. Lightning, nuclear fusion, superconductors: over 80 real-world TechNote case studies throughout the book show how key electromagnetic principles work in a wide variety of natural effects and man-made devices. Learn in confidence: over 170 annotated step-by-step examples, with illustrated field patterns, aid student visualization of key physical principles, and help them build a solid foundation for future study. Dive deeper: sidenotes provide detailed proofs and context without distracting from core learning, and carefully designed appendices provide additional mathematical assistance when needed. Make progress: over 375 end-of-chapter homework problems to assess and extend student understanding. Flexible instructor support: start your students off with statics, or dive straight into dynamics, with this versatile full-color textbook for a one-or two-semester course, supported by lecture slides, instructor solutions, Matlab animations, and PowerPoint and JPEG figures.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This textbook takes a unique approach to teaching electromagnetic theory, bridging theoretical principles to real-world engineering applications. It provides well-crafted case studies, which the author uses to demonstrate both natural and man-made electromagnetics phenomena. Throughout the text, students and researchers have the opportunity to examine the beauty of electromagnetics and understand its pivotal role in shaping the technological landscape of today and tomorrow.' Julio Urbina, The Pennsylvania State University 'Daniel Elliott's new textbook provides a comprehensive dive into electromagnetic fields. While covering the traditional topics with care, it is also infused with interesting snippets in the form of 'TechNotes' that apply the concepts to all sorts of modern day-to-day electrical devices and applications, and 'Biographical Notes' on the many historical figures who created this discipline. I'm finding it hard to put down!' Andrew F. Peterson, Georgia Institute of Technology 'Electromagnetic Fields for Engineers is really well-written and will be a fundamental guide for teaching and learning EM fields for Engineers. The book is well-balanced with theory and examples and explained in a beautiful manner.' Dipankar Mitra, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 'Very good text with nice illustrations.' Nikolas Xiros, University of New Orleans 'A very well designed textbook that covers all important aspects of electromagnetics. The material is presented in an appealing, concise format with high-quality artwork. I particularly like the author's treatment of transmission line phenomena and I will recommend this text as an additional source of information for my students.' Reinhold Ludwig, Worcester Polytechnic Institute 'An excellent textbook for the undergraduate course in electromagnetics. The addition of technotes to ilustrate the applications of electromagnetics will really help to keep the students engaged in this subject. The level of the material presented is suitable for undergraduate preparation and the mathematical prerequistes presented in the appendices are very appropriate.' Babar Minhas, Georgia Southern University
