Michael Faraday: 1791 - 1867
James Clerk Maxwell: 1831-1879
André-Marie Ampere:1775-1836
Carl Friedrich Gauss: 1777-1855
Any guess about Electromagnetics??

Google  ???
Bing  ??
Yahoo search  ??
संगै बसे को साथी?
I found like this  (बिधार्थी हुदा )
I found like this  (NOW)
Electromagnetics subject???
Hard to understand?
Hard to learn?
Long syllabus?
Many students failed?
Low score?
What else????????????

 गाह्रो त छ | 
How does this subject look like??
Physics?
Mathematics?
Engineering subject?

Boring Part 

Question pattern??

 Theory + Problems (Numerical)

Happy Part 

Knowledge

really cool 
 It’s
 Wide application
 Subject matter flow
1. Electrostatic (Charges at rest, no magnetic
field)
2. Magnetostatic (Magnet at rest, Current
constant, no electric field)
3. Electromagnetics Wave (Time varying
case, both electric field and magnetic field
are present)
4. Transmission lines
 Prerequisite
1. Co-ordinate systems
2. Cross product, Dot product, Vector, Scalar
3. Derivative
4. Integration
5. Gradient
6. Divergence
7. Curl
Math is problem solving tool!

What I prefer??

3. Principles of Electromagnetics (Fourth Edition) by Matthew N.O. Sadiku

 Bad news   Not available at NEC Library
 Happy news   I can give you soft copy

4. Engineering Electromagnetics by William H. Hayt, JR (available at NEC library

Run fast and get one  reserve one copy for you ;) )

5. MIT, Standford Universities, IITs online video lectures (YouTube)

Any other?

स्थानीय ले खक , भारतीय ले खक का किताबहरु (I don’t prefer)

 Some questions?
1. How does the region above the volcano become electrified and is there any way to
tell whether the sparks travel up from the crater or down to it?
Clue: Electric field

2. How wide is a lightning strike? Since a strike can be seen from kilometers away, is
it as wide as, say, a car?
Clue: Gauss’ Law

3. During ventricular fibrillation, a common type of heart attack, the chambers of the
heart fail to pump blood because their muscle fibers randomly contract and relax.
To save a victim of ventricular fibrillation, the heart muscle must be shocked to
reestablish its normal rhythm. For that, 20A of current must be sent through the
chest cavity to transfer 200 J of electrical energy in about 2ms. This requires about
100kW of electric power. Such a requirement may easily be met in a hospital, but
not by say the electrical system of an ambulance arriving to help the victim. What,
then, can power needed for defibrillation at remote4 locations.
Clue: Capacitance
 Applications
 Antenna (Design)
 Motors
 Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI)
 Generators
 Study of EM waves
 High speed trains
