Smith D. Electromagnetic Theory For Complete Idiots 2020 PDF

Textbook in PDF format

Since the time Maxwell first presented a unified theory of Electricity and Magnetism, the field of Electromagnetism has seen numerous advancements. But the fundamentals have remained more or less the same throughout this period. As our search for more advanced communication technology intensifies, the relevance of this field of engineering is only growing day by day. So it is very important for a student of Electrical or Communications engineering or a physics enthusiast to be familiar with the fundamentals of this subject.
We would be lying if we claimed this book is for total beginners with no math background, It’s not. This subject is a head scratcher. It is not one of those subjects you can casually learn without sufficient mathematical prerequisites. We doubt if any book can deal with this subject without the help of math. In this book we provide a concise introduction into basics of Electromagnetic theory, with more emphasis on the phenomenon themselves and less on the derivations and other mathematical aspects. However, various essential math concepts like vector analysis and vector calculus have been included with sufficient detail. The derivations of many important theorems in this subject has also been included.
Vector analysis
Vector calculus
Curvilinear coordinate systems
Electrostatics
Electric potential
Conductors & dielectrics
Magnetostatics
Magnetic potential
Electromagnetic induction
Maxwell’s equations
