Overview:
This textbook covers the fundamental concepts of static and dynamic electromagnetic fields and waves. It is designed to
serve as a textbook for the course on Electromagnetic Theory taught to electrical, electronics and communication
students in all engineering institutions in India. Its comprehensive approach to the subject and simple presentation will
help students to grasp complex topics with ease.
To make this book easily comprehensible and student friendly, the authors have organized the topics in a logical
progression. This will allow students to first work with electromagnetic concepts involving relatively simple
computational analysis and then move on to more complex topics and mathematical methods for analysis. In keeping
with this student-friendly approach, the book begins with an introduction to complex vectors and Maxwells equations
and then moves on to discuss advanced topics such as uniform plane waves, waveguides and resonators, transmission

lines, antennas, Rayleigh scattering, holography, Dopplers effect, electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, direct currents,
solution techniques of Poisson and Laplace equations, and electroquasistatic and magnetoquasistatic fields. Each of
these topics has been adequately covered in accordance with its relevance to the subject, making it a complete textbook for
students.
Field Theory
This book incorporates several computer-based problems, homework problems, end-of-chapter summaries, and a rich
collection of real-world application examples, which include discussions on cellular phone and microwave exposure
limits set by IEEE, safety concerns about electromagnetic fields from power lines, new and powerful magnets, and single-
mode optical fibers.

7. Transmission Line Analysis 3. Senior undergraduate or first year graduate students usually have some exposure to electromagnetic fields, so, depending on

more time on topics such as electromagnetic waves, antennas, waveguides, etc., which are completely new for the students.
