1st Edition by Paul G. Huray (Author)
An authoritative view of Maxwell's Equations that takes theory to practice
Maxwell's Equations
is a practical guide to one of the most remarkable sets of equations
ever devised. Professor Paul Huray presents techniques that show the
reader how to obtain analytic solutions for Maxwell's equations for
ideal materials and boundary conditions. These solutions are then used
as a benchmark for solving real-world problems. Coverage includes:
-
An
historical overview of electromagnetic concepts before Maxwell and how
we define fundamental units and universal constants today
-
A review of vector analysis and vector operations of scalar, vector, and tensor products
-
Electrostatic fields and the interaction of those fields with dielectric materials and good conductors
-
A method for solving electrostatic problems through the use of Poisson's and Laplace's equations and Green's function
-
Electrical resistance and power dissipation; superconductivity from an experimental perspective; and the equation of continuity
-
An
introduction to magnetism from the experimental inverse square of the
Biot-Savart law so that Maxwell's magnetic flux equations can be deduced
Maxwell's Equations
serves as an ideal textbook for undergraduate students in junior/senior
electromagnetics courses and graduate students, as well as a resource
for electrical engineers.
