The design of the book is structured in a way as to cater the needs of various courses taught in different universities in the field of electromagnetic. Besides electrical/electronics engineering stream, it serves as a reference book for other branches of Engineering & Technology, and is tailored for self study purpose also. Emphasis is placed on the basic concepts, laws and problem-solving abilities which are common to most courses. Basic concepts have been written carefully and explained in detail with numerous problems. Special features of this book include objective questions, review questions, etc.
The book is segregated into 8 chapters covering duly recognized areas of theory and study. The introductory begins with description on vector analysis, Coulomb’s law and electric field intensity. To further the study the concept of electric flux, Gauss’s law and their various applications along with divergence are dealt with. Stress is emphasized on elaborating the concept of energy and potential, and also on dielectrics and capacitors.
Different types of magnetic forces existing in different elements as well as the concept of static magnetic field, magnetic potential and inductance are discussed in detail. Maxwell’s equation and time varying fields are extensively covered.
