Synopsis

A fully revised and updated edition of one of the most widely used textbooks on electromagnetism covering all fundamental aspects of this important topic. Written as a basic introductory text for beginning electrical engineering students, this book adopts an elementary and practical approach requiring little knowledge of mathematics beyond simple differentiation and integration. This new edition is enhanced with restyled diagrams, a wide selection of exercises (numerical answers supplied) and an important new section on skin effect in conductors. Essential reading for anyone needing a sound basic knowledge of electromagnetism.

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.
