Electromagnetism: Problems With Solutions, 2/E

The second edition of this book contains 40 new
problems over and above the original 440 problems.
The additional problems cover the whole range of
new topics as introduced in the second edition of the
author’s main text entitled Electromagnetism: Theory
and Applications.
What Is NEW in This Edition
• A number of new problems demonstrate the use of
Bessel and Legendre functions required for practical
solutions to guidance and transmission problems
of electromagnetic waves in waveguides and
antennae.
• Bessel and Legendre functions have also been
introduced in the initial topics on electrostatics
and magnetostatics so that the readers would
develop familiarity with these important
mathematical functions at an earlier stage to be
able to solve problems dealing with cylindrical and
spherical geometries.
• Some problems in antennae have been solved by
using the Hertz vector to show how the use of Hertz vector makes the solving of these problems
easier.
• Some problems on transmission lines requiring the
use of Bicylindrical coordinate system have also
been included.
• A new appendix on Bicylindrical coordinate system
has been added.
There has been no change in the philosophy of this
book. It has been designed to serve as a companion
volume to the main text to help students gain a
thorough quantitative understanding of EM concepts
that are somewhat difficult to learn. The problems
included, as a result of the author’s long industrial
and academic experience, illuminate the concepts
developed in the main text.
Besides meeting the needs of undergraduate students
of electrical engineering and postgraduate students
and researchers in physics, the book will also be
immensely useful to engineers and applied physicists
in industry.
