Electromagnetics Made Easy - Balaji, S.

. .

Résumé :
This book is intended to serve as an undergraduate textbook for a beginner's course in engineering electromagnetics. The present book provides an easy and simplified understanding of the basic principles of electromagnetics. Abstract theory has been explained using real life examples making it easier for the reader to grasp the complicated concepts. An introductory chapter on vector calculus and the different coordinate systems equips the readers with the prerequisite knowledge to learn electromagnetics. The subsequent chapters can be grouped into four broad sections - electrostatics, magnetostatics, time varying fields, and applications of electromagnetics. Written in lucid terms, the text follows a sequential presentation of the topics, and discusses the relative merits and demerits of each method. Each chapter includes a number of examples which are solved rigorously along with pictorial representations. The book also contains about 400 figures and illustrations which help studentsvisualize the underlying physical concepts. Several end-of-chapter problems are provided to test the key concepts and their applications. Thus the book offers a valuable resource for both students and instructors of electrical, electronics and communications engineering, and can also be useful as a supplementary text for undergraduate physics students. ...

Biographie:
Dr S. Balaji is a Scientific Officer at the Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research (IGCAR), Kalpakkam, India. He obtained his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Madras. His research primarily focuses on radiation damage, application of ion beams in material science, and ion beam analysis. He is also actively involved in the development of experimental facilities related to ion beam irradiation. He has published 20 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Having a passion for teaching, he has taught engineering electromagnetics / electromagnetic theory to engineering undergraduates and physics postgraduates for over a decade. Currently, he teaches the same topic to the junior research fellows at IGCAR. ...
