This book introduces the fundamentals of plasma theory at an entry level, combining a study of related fields such as fusion, astrophysics, radio transmission, and technological applications. The book covers the central aspects of plasmas and pays particular attention to the more difficult topics of electromagnetic field theory, fluid conductors, and magneto hydrodynamics, thereby fusing physics with electrical engineering.
