About Electromagnetic Field Theory
This textbook presents electromagnetic field theory in a carefully sequenced order of increasing complexity. Starting with foundational vector calculus—Gauss's and Stokes' theorems—it develops electrostatics through Gauss's and Coulomb's laws in both integral and differential forms. The book then covers computation of static electric and magnetic fields in various configurations, the Green's function method for boundary value problems, and problems involving emf for conductors moving in magnetic fields. Later chapters derive the three-dimensional wave equations and Snell's laws of reflection and refraction, before introducing Schrödinger's wave mechanics. Designed for undergraduate electronics engineering students and postgraduate engineering physics students, the text bridges classical electromagnetism and quantum mechanics, making it suitable for those preparing to tackle problems at the interface of these two fields.
Who should read Electromagnetic Field Theory?
This book is ideal for undergraduate students in electronics engineering who need a rigorous but accessible introduction to electromagnetic field theory. It also suits postgraduate engineering physics students intending to work on problems at the intersection of electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. Instructors seeking a text that progresses logically from vector calculus to wave mechanics will find it useful. Additionally, self-learners with a solid calculus background who want to understand both integral and differential formulations of electromagnetism will benefit from its clear development.
