Field Theory Concepts: Electromagnetic Fields. Maxwells Equations grad, curl, d [Paperback]

Field Theory Concepts is a new approach to the teachingand understanding of field theory. Exploiting formal analo-gies of electric, magnetic, and conduction fields andintroducing generic concepts results in a transparentlystructured electomagnetic field theory. Highly illustrativeterms alloweasyaccess to the concepts of curl and div whichgenerally are conceptually demanding. Emphasis is placed onthe static, quasistatic and dynamic nature of fields.Eventually, numerical field calculation algorithms, e.g.Finite Element method and Monte Carlo method, are presentedin a concise yet illustrative manner.1 Elementary Concepts of Electric and Magnetic Fields.- 1.1 Flux and Flux Density of Vector Fields.- 1.2 Equations of Matter  Constitutive Relations.- 2 Types of Vector Fields.- 2.1 Electric Source Fields.- 2.2 Electric and Magnetic Vortex Fields.- 2.3 General Vector Fields.- 3 Field Theory Equations.- 3.1 Integral Form of Maxwells Equations.- 3.2 Law of Continuity in Integral Form Source Strength of Current Density Fields.- 3.3 Differential Form of Maxwells Equations.- 3.4 Law of Continuity in Differential Form Source Density of Current Density Fields.- 3.5 Maxwells Equations in Complex Notation.- 3.6 Integral Theorems of Stokes and Gauss.- 3.7 Network Model of Induction.- 4 Gradient, Potential, Potential Function.- 4.1 Gradient of a Scalar Field.- 4.2 Potential and Potential Function of Static Electric Fields.- 4.3 Development of the Potential Function from a Given Charge Distribution.- 4.4 Potential Equations.- 4.5 Electric Vector Potential.- 4.6 Vector Potential of the Conduction Field.- 5 Potential and Potential Function of Magnetostatic Fields.- 5.1 Magnetic Scalar Potential.- 5.2 Potential Equation for Magnetic Scalar Potentials.- 5.3 Magnetic Vector Potential.- 5.4 Potential Equation for Magnetic Vector Potentials.- 6 Classification of Electric and Magnetic Fields.- 6.1 Stationary Fields.- 6.2 Quasi-Stationary FieldlC7
