Maxwell's Equations

Maxwell's Equations is a practical guide to one of themost remarkable sets of equations ever devised. Professor PaulHuray presents techniques that show the reader how to obtainanalytic solutions for Maxwell's equations for ideal materials andboundary conditions. These solutions are then used as a benchmarkfor solving real-world problems. Coverage includes:

• An historical overview of electromagnetic concepts beforeMaxwell and how we define fundamental units and universal constantstoday

• A review of vector analysis and vector operations of scalar, vector, and tensor products

• Electrostatic fields and the interaction of those fields withdielectric materials and good conductors

• A method for solving electrostatic problems through the use ofPoisson's and Laplace's equations and Green's function

• Electrical resistance and power dissipation
  superconductivityfrom an experimental perspective
  and the equation ofcontinuity

• An introduction to magnetism from the experimental inversesquare of the Biot-Savart law so that Maxwell's magnetic fluxequations can be deduced

Maxwell's Equations serves as an ideal textbook forundergraduate students in junior/senior electromagnetics coursesand graduate students, as well as a resource for electricalengineers.
