. . . All this is covered in a good college E&M course. I wish I had an E&M book that I could recommend for self-study, but I don't. Mine is "Elements of Engineering Electromagnetics", but I took a course. I don't think I would have been able to just pick up the book and learn it from there. . . . A few months ago, I came upon a book that really looks like it might fill the bill: _Engineering Electromagnetics_ by Nathan Ida. The text is clear but doesn't skimp on math or theory. At the end of each section, there are numerous examples showing how the concept is applied in the solution of real problems -- something sorely missing in most other texts and, for that matter, in a lot of college courses. For example, after the "Inductance and Inductance" section in the "Magnetic Materials and Properties" chapter are the following fully worked and explained examples: Application: Self-inductance of a toroidal coil Application: Self-inductance of a long solenoid - Inductance per unit length Application: Inductance per unit length of coaxial cables Application: Mutual inductance between a wire and a toroidal core - core memory Mutual inductance between straight wire and loop Self- and mutual inductances in multiple coils It's sort of like a Shaum's Outlines and textbook combined, but in a way that you can see the transition from the theory to practice. It's also a good reference to use later on. And the answers to all the problems (but no details about how they were solved) are at the back of the book. I was lucky and found a used one at Powell's while browsing in their technical bookstore, but even new it's a bargain. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |

I just ordered it for $79 Canadian from www.amazon.ca Thanks, Frank |
