Demystifying Maxwell’s Equations covers concepts and principles that illustrate and expound electromagnetics with direct relevance to engineering applications. It presents electromagnetics with a holistic overview as it navigates through the electromagnetic space comprising spatial, temporal and material effects.

Demystifying Maxwell’s Equations motivates the readers to develop interest beyond physics into engineering applications and will be of interest to anyone who wants to decode electromagnetics beyond the traditional theoretical construct.

The book is organized as follows:

• Chapter 1 Overview
• Chapter 2 Maxwell’s Equations
• Chapter 3 Static Fields
• Chapter 4 Quasistatic Fields
• Chapter 5 Properties of Materials
• Chapter 6 Unrestricted Dynamic Fields
• Chapter 7 Boundary Conditions
• Chapter 8 Confined Dynamic Fields - I
• Chapter 9 Confined Dynamic Fields - II
• Chapter 10 Maxwell in Action
• Chapter 11 Electromagnetic Measurements
• Appendix - The Wave Equation
• Further Reading

Topics of increased complexity get introduced across the chapters and ensure seamless flow of knowledge as the mystery of the equations gets unraveled in space, time and medium. The book illuminates the reader on the practical side of electromagnetics, covering electromagnetic measurement parameters and introducing instrumentation systems.

Demystifying Maxwell’s Equations offers a balanced coverage on the breadth and depth of core topics while maintaining a portable size. The knowledge source encourages the reader to transcend electromagnetics theory towards engineering applications.

Shiv Prasad Tripathy is a hands-on engineering practitioner, and provides consulting & knowledge services to people in academics and industry. His prior work experience has been with companies like HCL Ltd., Agilent Technologies (now Keysight), Hewlett Packard and others. Information about his other books is on the author’s page.
