Electromagnetism and Special Methods for Electric Circuits Analysis

This textbook is derived from modules forming a full course in Electricity and Magnetism (E&M) as given by the authors. Thoroughly class tested over many years and incorporating numerous worked examples and problems, the textbook presents the second part of such a course and is focussed on the classical electrodynamics, the branch of theoretical physics that studies the phenomena related to moving electric charges. As a stand-alone textbook, it is suitable for students taking a general E&M course or for those undertaking a more specialised course in electromagnetism and electrodynamics. The theoretical concepts are consistently blended with examples of real-life applications. The advanced math support required to follow the scientific content of the textbook is provided in the appendixes included with the first part of the series (iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-5859-0). Key Features: Thoroughly class tested Numerous examples of applications, worked example problems and exercises Includes special conduction mechanisms in media, other than metals Extensive study of electrokinetics and magnetostatics Special methods to solve direct current (DC) circuits Analysis of the circuits in non-stationary conditions, i.e., in transitory regime Analysis of the circuits in quasi-stationary conditions, i.e., in alternating current (AC) regime Electromagnetic field and electromagnetic waves
