About the book (from the publisher)

Master the fundamentals of undergraduate electromagnetics with this concise and accessible textbook, linking theoretical principles to real-world engineering applications. Lightning, nuclear fusion, superconductors: Over 80 real-world TechNote case studies throughout the book show how key electromagnetic principles work in a wide variety of natural effects and man-made devices. Learn in confidence: Over 170 annotated step-by-step examples, with illustrated field patterns, aid student visualization of key physical principles and help them build a solid foundation for future study. Dive deeper: Sidenotes provide detailed proofs and context without distracting from core learning, and carefully designed appendices provide additional mathematical assistance when needed. Make progress: Over 375 end-of-chapter homework problems assess and extend student understanding. Flexible instructor support: Start your students off with statics or dive straight into dynamics with this versatile full-color textbook for a one- or two-semester course, supported by lecture slides, instructor solutions, MATLAB animations, and PowerPoint and JPEG figures.
