This book is a sequel to Electromagnetism: Theory (Volume I). It has been updated to cover some additional aspects of theory and nearly all modern applications. The semi-historical approach is unchanged, but further historical comments have been introduced at various places in the book to give a better insight into the development of the subject as well as to make the study more interesting and palatable to the students.
• Emphasis on practical aspects of wave guidance and radiation • Sections on analysis of cylindrical dielectric waveguide (e.g. of optical fibres) in Chapters 18 and 22 • Tensor formulation of Maxwell’s Stresses • Extension of Principle of Duality to time varying field problems as well as to non electrical systems • Extrapolation of the method of images from partially embedded conduction current elements to discontinuous current elements with displacement currents in antennae problems • Explanation of the physical basis of the mechanism of electromagnetic radiation • Analysis of wave polarization including complete and partial polarization • Effects of finite geometrical dimensions of the conducting media on the skin-effect phenomenon • Types of apertures in receiving antennae
The book is designed to serve as a core text for students of electrical engineering. Besides, it will be useful to postgraduate physics students as well as research engineers and design and development engineers in industries.
