Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves

As the name implies, “Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Fields and Waves” is an outgrowth of the lecture notes prepared for the students of Electromagnetics. Intended primarily as a text book for students at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level, it is expected that the book will be useful for research scholars too. It provides a thorough treatment of the theory of electrodynamics, mainly from a classical field theoretical point of view, and includes such things as electrostatics, electromagnetic waves and their propagation in vacuum and in media, wave equation from Maxwell’s equations, derivation of speed of light from both Electric Field E and Magnetic Field H sources using Maxwell’s parameter, and so on. With the parameters and terms that make up the text clearly defined, this book is based on classical electromagnetism that deals with the study of static charges and their electric fields, the magnetic field developed by motional charges and the electromagnetic wave that treated the dynamism of electron in rapidly time-varying conditions.
