Foundations of Electrical Engineering covers the fundamental ideas and basic laws in electrical engineering. This book is organized into five parts encompassing 24 chapters. Part I provides an overview of the Maxwell's equation and its significance in electrical engineering. Part II deals first with the determination of static and steady electric fields. This part also discusses the solution of Laplace's equation, boundary value problems, the concept of capacity, and magnetic field. Parts III and IV explore the laws of network analysis and synthesis, as well as the basic principles and applications of electromagnetic waves. These parts also describe the main features of classical electrodynamics and its application to problems of electrical engineering. Part V highlights the combined contributions of Maxwell's equations and the laws of mechanics in the subject field. Electrical engineers, and electrical engineering teachers and students will find this book invaluable.

The final volume in a three-part series, Electricity and Magnetism provides a detailed exposition of classical electric and magnetic fields and analyses of linear electric circuits. The book applies the principles of classical mechanics to systematically reveal the laws governing observed electric and magnetic phenomena. The text culminates in Maxw

Foundations of Electrical Engineering: Fields—Networks—Waves describes the general principles of electrical engineering, with emphasis on fields, networks, and waves. The limitations of validity are defined and methods of calculation are outlined. Examples are used to illustrate the theory and microphysical explanations based on simple models are given. This book is divided into five sections and begins with an overview of the inductive approach to Maxwell's equations, along with the uniqueness of their solution. Energy conversion in the electromagnetic field as well as the basic concepts of vector algebra and vector analysis are also considered. Subsequent chapters focus on static and steady fields, including cylindrically symmetrical fields and magnetic fields; the laws of network analysis and network synthesis; transient phenomena; and transmission lines. The remaining sections deal with electromagnetic waves, with emphasis on boundary value problems, and further developments in electrical engineering. This monograph will be of interest to students of electrical engineering and mathematics.
