Electromagnetic Field Theory Fundamentals

by Bhag Singh Guru, Hüseyin R. Hiziroglu

Overview

Guru and Hiziroglu have produced an accessible and user-friendly text on electromagnetics that will appeal to both students and professors teaching this course. This lively book includes many worked examples and problems in every chapter, as well as chapter summaries and background revision material where appropriate. The book introduces undergraduate students to the basic concepts of electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, before moving on to cover Maxwell’s equations, propagation, transmission and radiation. Chapters on the Finite Element and Finite Difference method, and a detailed appendix on the Smith chart are additional enhancements. MathCad code for many examples in the book and a comprehensive solutions set are available at www.cambridge.org/9780521830164.

Editorial Reviews

"… a comprehensive account of electromagnetic theory for undergraduate physics and electronics engineering students. Its key feature is that the physics is developed assuming that the student is thoroughly familiar with all of the vector analysis."
Dr T. A. Birks, Contemporary Physics
