IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Waves, 1993, 630 pages, ISBN 0-7803-1024-1A useful reference for engineers and physicists, the IEEE reprinting of this classic text provides a deep, fundamental understanding of electromagnetics. Each chapter begins with a pertinent historical overview that shows how special relativity can be used to develop a complete electromagnetic theory from Coulomb's Law, with the needed relativity theory developed in an early chapter. Electromagnetics also contains many applications in the chapters covering electrostatics, magnetostatics, and electrodynamics, while the final three chapters of the book extend the electromagnetic theory to dielectric, magnetic, and conducting materials. Key features include:
The development and use of special relativity to establish a complete electromagnetic theory based on Coulomb's Law as the sole experimental postulate
Historical introductions to each chapter
Extensive treatment of electrical properties of materials in the final three chaptersThe phenomenon of light
The special theory of relativity
Electrostatics in free space
Magnetostatics in free space
Electromagnetics in free space
Dielectric materials
Magnetic materials
Conductive materials
