Ellingson, Steven W.2019-08-232019-08-232020-01http://hdl.handle.net/10919/93253 Electromagnetics, volume 2 by Steven W. Ellingson is a 216-page peer-reviewed open textbook designed especially for electrical engineering students in the third year of a bachelor of science degree program. It is intended as the primary textbook for the second semester of a two-semester undergraduate engineering electromagnetics sequence. The book addresses magnetic force and the Biot-Savart law; general and lossy media; parallel plate and rectangular waveguides; parallel wire, microstrip, and coaxial transmission lines; AC current flow and skin depth; reflection and transmission at planar boundaries; fields in parallel plate, parallel wire, and microstrip transmission lines; optical fiber; and radiation and antennas. <a href="http://bit.ly/vtpublishing-updates">Review or adopt this book</a> If you are an instructor reviewing, adopting, or adapting this textbook please help us understand your use by <a href="http://bit.ly/vtpublishing-updates">completing this form.</a> Additional resources - Problem sets and the corresponding solution manuals - Slides of figures used in and created for the book - LaTeX sourcefiles - Screen-reader friendly version - <a href="https://ellingsonvt.info/oem/Vol2_errata.txt">Errata for Volume 2</a> - <a href="https://www.oercommons.org/groups/electromagnetics-user-group/3455/">Collaborator portal for the Electromagnetics series</a> - <a href="https://groups.google.com/a/vt.edu/d/forum/electromagnetics-g">Faculty listserv for the Electromagnetics series</a> - <a href="http://bit.ly/electromagnetics-suggestion">Submit feedback and suggestions</a> Three formats of this book are available - Print (ISBN 9781949373912) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/1949373916">Available from Amazon.com</a> - PDF (ISBN 9781949373929) - LaTeX source files Table of contents Chapter 1: Preliminary Concepts Chapter 2: Magnetostatics Redux Chapter 3: Wave Propagation in General Media Chapter 4: Current Flow in Imperfect Conductors Chapter 5: Wave Reflection and Transmission Chapter 6: Waveguides Chapter 7: Transmission Lines Redux Chapter 8: Optical Fiber Chapter 9: Radiation Chapter 10: Antennas Appendix A: Constitutive Parameters of Some Common Materials Appendix B: Mathematical Formulas Appendix C: Physical Constants The Open Electromagnetics Project Led by Steven W. Ellingson at Virginia Tech, the goal of the <a href="https://www.faculty.ece.vt.edu/swe/oem">Open Electromagnetics Project</a> is to create no-cost openly-licensed content for courses in engineering electromagnetics. The project is motivated by two things: lowering learning material costs for students and giving faculty the freedom to adopt, modify, and improve their educational resources.
