Electromagnetics

Co-published with Oxford University Press. A handy reference for engineers and physicists, this IEEE reprinting of the classic text provides a deep, fundamental understanding of electromagnetics. Providing a pertinent historical overview for each chapter, it shows how special relativity is used to develop a complete electromagnetic theory from Coulomb's Law, with the need relativity theory developed in an early chapter. Electromagnetics also contains many applications for the chapters covering electrostatics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics, while the final three chapters of the book extend the electromagnetic theory to dielectric magnetic and conducting materials.

ROBERT S. ELLIOTT received a BS from Columbia University and an MS and PhD from University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and later served as the first department chairman of UCLA. He was the first person to hold the Hughes Distinguished Chair in Electromagnetics at UCLA and was the recipient of the APS Distinguished Achievement Award in 1988, as well as a half-dozen Best Teacher Awards, two Best Paper Awards from the IEEE, election to Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering. He became a Fellow of the IEEE in 1961 and in 2000 received an IEEE Third Millennium Medal. Dr. Elliott is also the author of Electromagnetics. Electromagnetics History, Theory, and Applications A 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 chapters

Also in the series… Field Computation by Moment Methods by Roger F. Harrington, Syracuse University An IEEE reprinting of this classic 1968 edition, Field Computation by Moment Methods is the first book to explore the computation of electromagnetic fields by the method of moments—the most popular method to date for the numerical solution of electromagnetic field problems. It presents a unified approach to moment methods by employing the concepts of linear spaces and functional analysis. Written especially for those who have a minimal amount of experience in electromagnetic theory, theoretical and mathematical concepts are illustrated by examples that prepare readers with the skills they need to apply the method of moments to new, engineering-related problems. Key topics include:

• Electrostatic fields
• Two-dimensional electromagnetic fields
• Wire antennas and scatterers
• Multiport systems
• Transmission lines and waveguides
• Resonators
• Antenna systems
