Features: This book is a supplementary textbook for the 2005 Sichuan Provincial Excellent Course "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves." It concisely discusses the fundamental properties and analytical methods of electromagnetic fields and waves, with a focus on electromagnetic waves. The book is divided into 9 chapters, including: mathematical foundations; physical foundations; electrostatic fields; steady current fields; steady magnetic fields; time-varying electromagnetic fields; plane electromagnetic waves; guided electromagnetic waves; and electromagnetic radiation. The appendix lists symbols, units, and dimensions of electromagnetic physical quantities, SI multiple units, vector identities, orthogonal curvilinear coordinates, and the band division of electromagnetic waves along with their main applications. The book is rich in examples, with each chapter accompanied by sections, discussion questions, and exercises, and answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. The book emphasizes the interpretation of physical concepts while avoiding complex mathematical content, while also highlighting engineering applications.
