Synopsis

This book is a concise introduction to electromagnetic fields for students on degree and diploma courses. Physical processes and their descriptions are elucidated in words rather than mathematical symbols. Only simple differentiation, integration, and a little trigonometry are required. For this new edition there are new sections on electromechanics and high-frequency phenomena.

About this title

About the Author

Percy Hammond is a very distinguished figure in the circles of electromagnetic scholarship. This book is very well known and loved in its first three editions. He is also a serious contributor to computational methods with the "Tubes and Slices" method given prominence in Engineering Electromagnetism (with Sykulski) and to fundamental thinking about the geometry of fields in The Geometry of Electromagnetic Fields (with Baldomir). Hammond is a series editor for Monographs in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Review

I can recommend this book with genuine enthusiasm.
International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, Volume 24, Number 2
I find this textbook excellent for the...B Eng Course we give on Electrotechnology. Further, I am going to try it with HND/BTec Classes in the coming year since it is suitable for this also.
