Conceptual Electromagnetics

This is a textbook on electromagnetic fields and waves completely based on conceptual understanding of electromagnetics. The text provides operational knowledge and firm grasp of electromagnetic fundamentals aimed toward practical engineering applications by combining fundamental theory and a unique and comprehensive collection of as many as 888 conceptual questions and problems in electromagnetics. Conceptual questions are designed to strongly enforce and enhance both the theoretical concepts and understanding and problem-solving techniques and skills in electromagnetics.
