The book addresses the gap in academic curricula regarding sensors and actuators, providing essential knowledge for students and professionals who may lack exposure to these critical components. It aims to enhance understanding and competence in dealing with related topics and issues, making it a valuable resource for those looking to expand their expertise in this area.
This book not only provides readers with a good theoretical understanding of the elecromagnetic field equations but also treats a large number of its applications. Magnetic forces, torques, and electromagnetics are discussed in the context of electric motors and transformers; the applications discussed include super-efficient electric drivers, linear induction motors, stealth aero-space materials, and implantable transformers of life-sustaining devices. Many examples and exercises enable readers to further their understanding.
This introduction to electromagnetic fields emphasizes the computation of fields and the development of theoretical relations. It presents the electromagnetic field and Maxwell's equations with a view toward connecting the disparate applications to the underlying relations, along with computational methods of solving the equations.
