Electromagnetic Fields and Energy
Electromagnetic Fields and Energy
We are fortunate that electromagnetic aspects of engineering systems are accurately
described by remarkably concise and general laws. Yet, a price paid for the generality of Maxwell's equations is the effort required to make these laws of practical use to the engineer who is not only analyzing, but synthesizing and inventing. Key to the
