Exercises in Electricity and Magnetism II

This book is the second volume in a continuing series, following the previously published Exercises in Electricity and Magnetism (ISBN 978-3-031-67939-1, 2025). Building on the foundations laid in the first book, this book significantly expands the collection with 365 newly prepared exercises, further deepening and broadening the reader's understanding of electromagnetism.

The chapters cover a wide range of advanced subjects, including the application of the method of images to electric and magnetic dipoles. This technique is highlighted in practical scenarios, such as dipoles placed near conductors and superconductors, offering a refined understanding of these interactions. This book also delves into the derivation of electrostatic and magnetic forces from their corresponding energies, and the extension of mean magnetic flux concepts to induced electromotive force and magnetic energy. Readers are guided through the spatial refraction of electric field lines, electric currents, and magnetic flux lines, revealing the deep correspondence between electricity and magnetism.

Particular attention is given to the perpendicularity of the vector potential to current in superconducting lines and the behavior of TEM and TE waves in waveguides. These insights are crucial for understanding complex electromagnetic phenomena and their practical applications.

This book is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in physics and engineering who wish to systematically develop and test their mastery of the subject. Designed to complement standard textbooks as well as the first exercise book in the series, this second volume continues the pedagogical approach of challenging the reader while strengthening conceptual understanding and technical proficiency in electromagnetism. Together, Volumes I and II form a comprehensive exercise series comprising approximately 1,000 problems with the textbook, spanning levels from basic principles to advanced applications in electricity and magnetism.

Covers 365 exercise problems in Electricity and Magnetism Is deeply connected to the best-seller textbook, Electricity and Magnetism Provides unique and good problems for deeper understanding Electricity and Magnetism

Autorentext

Prof. Dr. Teruo Matsushita has studied flux pinning and related electromagnetic phenomena in superconductors for 50 years. The first research field includes theoretical calculation of elementary pinning force of specific pinning centers and estimation of the pinning force density as a function of the elementary pinning force and number density. In the latter research field, he established the critical state theory that supports the well-known critical state model by using the first principles of minimizing the free energy in the reversible state followed by development to the irreversible state. The theoretical analyses of the longitudinal field problem and the effect of flux creep in high-temperature superconductors are also included in the latter category. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, Cryogenics and Superconductivity of Japan, and Institute of Physics (UK).
