Reihe: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics

This book serves as a comprehensive resource for students and practitioners seeking to strengthen their understanding and problem-solving skills in the foundational aspects of electromagnetics. It presents fundamental concepts through problems, each accompanied by a brief theoretical introduction at the beginning of the chapter. With a strong didactic character, the book meticulously explains all mathematical steps and theoretical concepts, guiding readers to independently solve the exercises.

The significantly expanded 2nd edition of this book includes the addition of many new worked problems in electromagnetics, as well as new Appendices on the electric and magnetic properties of selected materials; the thermodynamics of electric and magnetic fields; and the scattering of electromagnetic waves. This book primarily focuses on electrostatic and magnetostatic fields, laying a solid groundwork for deeper exploration in electromagnetics. It covers sections related to electrostatics, magnetostatics, methods for solving electrostatic and magnetostatic problems. It encompasses the foundational concepts of electromagnetics, focusing on static fields and their properties, and covering topics such as Coulomb's law, Gauss' law, the Biot–Savart law, and magnetic materials.

Prof. Dr. Félix Salazar Bloise studied Physics at the Complutense University of Madrid(1987) and received his Ph.D. degree from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) in 1992. He was awarded the Ph.D. Prize in the academic year of 1993–94, and in 2004, he won the best textbook of the year award from the General Foundation of the University (FGU). In 1995, he was appointed an associate professor of Applied Physics at the School of Mines of Madrid (ETSIM) and since 2019 full professor. During the periods of 1994–95 and 1997, he was a visiting assistant researcher at the Universität des Saarlandes. Since 2006, he currently is a visiting professor at Lehrstuhl für Messsystem-und Sensortechnik (Technische Universität München-TUM), and in 2012– 18, he has also been a visiting research scientist at Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL) of the University of Central Florida.  

Prof. Dr. Rafael Medina Ferro , born in Madrid (Spain) in 1961, has been teaching in Higher Technical School of Mining and Energy Engineering, in the Polytechnic University in Madrid since 1986. He was graduated in 1985 and got his Ph.D. in 1989 in Mining Engineering from the Polytechnic University in Madrid. His teaching includes topics in mathematics, physics, and mechanical vibrations. He is the author and co-author of five books for university students. One of these books won the award of the best textbook from the Polytechnic University in Madrid in 2004. His research has been developed mainly in mechanical vibrations and wave propagation in materials, although he also worked in a European Project about electrostatic effects in powder mixtures. His later research involved impact-echo studies and blasting effects in buildings. 

Prof. Dr.Ana Bayón Rojo received her master of mining engineering in 1985 from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM). After working in industry she returned to the University (UPM) where she obtained her Ph.D. in 1992. Her research was recognized by the Ph.D. prize in the academic year 1992–93. In 1992–93 she was a visiting assistant professor at the Institut Français du Pétrol (IFP) in Paris. In 1995, she was appointed an associate professor of Applied Physics at the School of Mines of Madrid (ETSIM) and since 2019 full professor.  Her teaching field includes general physics, electrodynamics,and mechanical vibrations, in addition to doctoral courses about non-destructive measurement techniques. In 2004 she was awarded the best textbook of the year for university students by the General Foundation of the University (FGU). Her scientific research is focused on vibration analysis by using optical and acoustical methods. She is the co-author of scientific articles, book chapters, and of five books. She is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA).
