Electromagnetic Field Theory

Text Books:Field and Wave Electromagnetic by David K Cheng (2nd Edition)

Reference Books:1. 2. 3. Engineering Electromagnetics by William H Hayt (2nd Edition) Electronic Communication Systems by George Kennedy (2nd Edition) Electromagnetic Waves and Radiating Systems by Balma.

Course Description:This is the first course in Electromagnetics (EM), which covers the fundamentals of EM fields. The course has been designed to provide students with a secure and sufficient background for understanding and analyzing electromagnetic phenomena, as well as prepare them for more advanced subjects in EM theory. The course has been divided into four parts. In the first part, after developing an EM model, vector calculus has been reviewed. The second part deals with the static electric fields covering Coulombs law, Gausss law, and their application; Poissons and Laplacess equations; Ohms law, Kirchoffs voltage and current laws. Part three is concerned with the steady magnetic field (magnostatics), covering Biot-Savart law and applications; magnetic dipole; magnetic materials; magnetic forces and torques. Part four covers the time-varying fields including Faradays law of EM induction; Maxwells equations; EM boundary conditions; wave equations; time harmonic fields etc. The application of the Maxwells equations to wave propagation, transmission lines, wave -guides and antennas shall be covered in the next course on Electromagnetics.
