Electromagnetism can be challenging to grasp, yet it underpins much of modern life. Unlike mechanics, which is more tangible, the effects of electromagnetism are often less observable, making it difficult for students to appreciate its significance. A solid understanding of electromagnetism is essential for students in electrical and electronic engineering and physics, as it influences communications, power generation, semiconductor devices, and motors. This textbook aims to enhance students' comprehension of electromagnetism by connecting real-world applications to fundamental concepts while maintaining the sophistication of the mathematics involved. It starts with the basics of electromagnetism, followed by detailed discussions tailored to specific applications, including transmission lines, antennas, and waveguides. Readers will benefit from a unique approach that links theory to practical use, clear language for better understanding, and carefully designed figures to illustrate key points. An accompanying website offers additional resources. This textbook is ideal for undergraduates in electronic or electrical engineering, as well as physics students and graduate-level learners seeking a comprehensive overview of electromagnetism. It also serves as a valuable reference for professional engineers needing a refresher on the subject.
