Beginning with the very basics such as scalars and vectors, coordinate systems, and vector calculus, the book aims to teach the subject starting from the fundamentals in a simple and direct manner. After the introductory part, the content is divided into three logical parts, namely, electrostatics, magnetostatics, and time varying fields, radiation and propagation. The text has been supported throughout with self-explanatory illustrations and numerous graded solved examples. Many of the illustrations also provide a three-dimensional view of the patterns presented. With an aim to provide sufficient practice to students and reinforce important concepts, the end chapter exercises include review questions, numerical problems with answers, short answers questions with answers, MCQs with answers and open book exam questions as well with hints. The appendices at the end of the book equip the students with all the important tables and information they would require for this course. Key Features Comprehensive coverage of topics; also covers antennas and radio wave propagation Packed with numerous solved examples review questions, numerical problems, short answer type questions, MCQs, and open book exam questions Provides a detailed recapitulation of important formulae and definition to aid in quick revision Includes a 'Did You Know' section in the chapters to cover additional interesting information beyond the syllabus Includes in separate boxes real-life application of concepts wherever possible Includes a CD with chapter-wise MATLAB programs and illustrations from the chapters About The  Author Sunil Bhooshan is currently Professor and Head of Department in Jaypee University of Information Technology (JUIT) at Waknaghat near Shimla which is a part of the group of educational institutions of the Jaypee group of industries.
