"Electromagnetic Foundations of Electrical Engineering certainly lives up to its name by providing a very useful treatment of Maxwell's equations which should help students understand why they need to learn field theory and how it impacts their jobs and daily life." (IEEE Microwave Magazine, June 2009)
Electromagnetic Foundations of Electrical Engineering
von J. A. Brandao FariaThe applications of electromagnetic phenomena within electricalengineering have been evolving and progressing at a fast pace. Incontrast, the underlying principles have been stable for a longtime and are not expected to undergo any changes. It is theseelectromagnetic field fundamentals that are the subject ofdiscussion in this book with an emphasis on basic principles, concepts and governing laws that apply across the electricalengineering discipline.
Electromagnetic Foundations of Electrical Engineeringbegins with an explanation of Maxwell's equations, from whichthe fundamental laws and principles governing the static andtime-varying electric and magnetic fields are derived. Results forboth slowly- and rapidly-varying electromagnetic field problems arediscussed in detail.
Key aspects:
* Offers a project portfolio, with detailed solutions included onthe companion website, which draws together aspects from variouschapters so as to ensure comprehensive understanding of thefundamentals.
* Provides end-of-chapter homework problems with a focus onengineering applications.
* Progresses chapter by chapter to increasingly more challengingtopics, allowing the reader to grasp the more simple phenomena andbuild upon these foundations.
* Enables the reader to attain a level of competence tosubsequently progress to more advanced topics such as electricalmachines, power system analysis, electromagnetic compatibility, microwaves and radiation.
This book is aimed at electrical engineering students andfaculty staff in sub-disciplines as diverse as power and energysystems, circuit theory and telecommunications. It will also appealto existing electrical engineering professionals with a need for arefresher course in electromagnetic foundations.
