Electricity, 1st ed. 2023 Electromagnetism and Electric Circuits

This book leads students to learn electromagnetism and then moves to chapters about electric circuits. It aims to give an understanding of electromagnetism which gives a fast way to master the features of circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors, and coils that compose electric circuits. The author provides chapters on electromagnetism and electric circuits separately and gives a chapter explaining the correlation between them in detail.

The book can serve as a compact textbook for lectures, as an introduction for hardware system and electric control systems, and mechanical systems. Chapters for electromagnetism or ones for electric circuits are suitable for a lecture over a semester.

Electric Phenomena in Vacuum.- Conductors and Dielectric Materials.- Steady Current.- Current and Magnetic Phenomena.- Superconductors and Magnetic Materials.- Time-Dependent Electromagnetic Phenomena.- Direct Current Circuit.- Transient and Steady Responses of Electrical Circuit.- Alternating Current Circuit.- Transformer Circuit.- Theorems for Electric Circuit.

Teruo Matsushita is professor emeritus in the Faculty of Computer Science and Systems Engineering at the Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, having served as Vice President of the institute from 1999 to 2003. His research area is wide, ranging from fundamental physics to applications associated with flux pinning phenomena in superconductors. In 2014 he published the Springer undergraduate textbook Electricity and Magnetism, which now boasts close to 2 million downloads.
