Electromagnetism and Special Methods for Electric Circuits Analysis: (IOP ebooks)

This textbook is derived from modules forming a full course in Electricity and Magnetism (E&M) as given by the authors. Thoroughly class tested over many years and incorporating numerous worked examples and problems, the textbook presents the second part of such a course and is focussed on the classical electrodynamics, the branch of theoretical physics that studies the phenomena related to moving electric charges. As a stand-alone textbook, it is suitable for students taking a general E&M course or for those undertaking a more specialised course in electromagnetism and electrodynamics. The theoretical concepts are consistently blended with examples of real-life applications. The advanced math support required to follow the scientific content of the textbook is provided in the appendixes included with the first part of the series (https://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-5859-0). Key Features: Thoroughly class tested Numerous examples of applications, worked example problems and exercises Includes special conduction mechanisms in media, other than metals Extensive study of electrokinetics and magnetostatics Special methods to solve direct current (DC) circuits Analysis of the circuits in non-stationary conditions, i.e., in transitory regime Analysis of the circuits in quasi-stationary conditions, i.e., in alternating current (AC) regime Electromagnetic field and electromagnetic waves

About the Author :
Ștefan Antohe graduated in 1977 within Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest, Romania and he finished in 1994 a PhD program in Physics at the same institution. He is currently Professor Emeritus of the University of Bucharest, Head of the Research and Development (R&D) Center for Materials and Electronic & Optoelectronic Devices (MDEO) of the Faculty of Physics, as well as Full Member of the Academy of Romanian Scientists (AOSR). His main didactic activities are in the field of Electricity and Magnetism, as well as Physics of Condensed Matter. As he created MDEO R&D center, his research activities are dedicated to the physical properties of organic and inorganic semiconducting thin films and nanomaterials, with special emphasis onto investigation of generation of electric charges and their transport mechanisms within materials and interfaces. He possesses also great knowledge on the fabrication technologies and characterization of various electronic and optoelectronic devices, especially of organic photovoltaic cells, transparent field-effect transistors and heterojunctions. He co-authored more than 300 scientific publications in ISI journals, acquiring more than 3500 citations, he supervised several PhD and post-doctoral fellows, and he coordinated numerous national and international research projects. Vlad-Andrei Antohe received in 2002 a Bachelor’s degree (BSc) in Physics Education and in 2005 a Master diploma (MSc) in Physical Electronics, from Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest, Romania. He also obtained in 2003 an Engineering degree (MEng) in Electronics from Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Romania. Then, he finished in 2012 a PhD program in Applied Engineering Sciences, the diploma being awarded by Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium, where he continued his post-Doctoral studies until 2016. He was then an Associate Professor at the University of Bucharest, and since February 2024, he has been a Full Professor at the same institution. In addition to his teaching activities with undergraduate and graduate students, his main research interests lie in the areas of materials science and nanotechnology, with a particular focus on the development and investigation of nanostructured materials and low-dimensional architectures, with the aim of generating novel structural arrangements tailored to specific desired properties. He also has expertise in the fabrication and characterization of electronic and optoelectronic devices based on inorganic, organic, or hybrid organic/inorganic nanostructured materials, such as photovoltaic cells, sensors and biosensors, magnetic media for various applications, as well as microbatteries, microsupercapacitors, and other electrochemical systems. He has coauthored around 65 scientific publications, of which more than 15 ISI-indexed research papers were published in journals with high impact factors ranging approximately from 5 to 32.
