Lonngren Supplemental Chapter on CD
EM Applications
Dr. Randy Jost –
This chapter is meant to provide concrete examples of several applications of basic electromagnetic theory, at different levels of complexity and completeness. These applications were chosen to cover a broad range of uses of EM theory that students should find interesting. These applications will also give the instructor the opportunity to explore electromagnetic theory in greater depth, using a practical example as a framework. This chapter will also provide additional material for those instructors wishing to use the same text for two semesters.
