Electromagnetics for Practicing Engineers: Electrostatics and Magnetostatics

Friesen, Dean James

Electromagnetics for Practicing Engineers, Volume 1: Electrostatics and Magnetostatics is a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, making it an indispensable resource for a wide range of readers. This volume covers the essential concepts of electrostatics, including Coulomb’s law, electric fields, Gauss’ law, divergence, the divergence theorem, energy, electric potential of charge systems, current, current density, conductors, capacitance, dielectric material, LaPlace’s equation, and vector mathematics, as well as magnetostatics to include the Biot-Savart law, Ampere’s law, magnetic fields, forces and torques in magnetic fields, inductance, magnetic circuits, displacement current, and induced EMF, all of which form the foundation for the book.

What sets this book apart are the numerous illustrations and diagrams that visually elucidate complex topics, ensuring a clear and thorough understanding. To reinforce learning, the text also includes problem sets, giving readers an opportunity to apply the acquired concepts. This book is particularly valuable for college graduates and engineering students who are beginning their journey into the realm of electromagnetism and an excellent reference for practicing engineers seeking to refresh their knowledge of the basic principles of electromagnetism. With a focus on both theory and practical application, this volume provides a strong foundation for readers at various stages of their engineering education and career.
