Electromagnetic Foundations of Electrical Engineering (eBook)

The applications of electromagnetic phenomena within electrical
engineering have been evolving and progressing at a fast pace. In
contrast, the underlying principles have been stable for a long
time and are not expected to undergo any changes. It is these
electromagnetic field fundamentals that are the subject of
discussion in this book with an emphasis on basic principles,
concepts and governing laws that apply across the electrical
engineering discipline.

Electromagnetic Foundations of Electrical Engineering
begins with an explanation of Maxwell's equations, from which
the fundamental laws and principles governing the static and
time-varying electric and magnetic fields are derived. Results for
both slowly- and rapidly-varying electromagnetic field problems are
discussed in detail.

Key aspects:

* Offers a project portfolio, with detailed solutions included on
the companion website, which draws together aspects from various
chapters so as to ensure comprehensive understanding of the
fundamentals.

* Provides end-of-chapter homework problems with a focus on
engineering applications.

* Progresses chapter by chapter to increasingly more challenging
topics, allowing the reader to grasp the more simple phenomena and
build upon these foundations.

* Enables the reader to attain a level of competence to
subsequently progress to more advanced topics such as electrical
machines, power system analysis, electromagnetic compatibility,
microwaves and radiation.

This book is aimed at electrical engineering students and
faculty staff in sub-disciplines as diverse as power and energy
systems, circuit theory and telecommunications. It will also appeal
to existing electrical engineering professionals with a need for a
refresher course in electromagnetic foundations.
