This book is the second of two volumes which have been created to provide an understanding of the basic principles and applications of electromagnetic fields for electrical engineering students. Fundamentals of Electromagnetics Vol 2: Quasistatics and Waves examines how the low-frequency models of lumped elements are modified to include parasitic elements. For even higher frequencies, wave behavior in space and on transmission lines is explained. Finally, the textbook concludes with details of transmission line properties and applications. Upon completion of this book and its companion Fundamentals of Electromagnetics Vol 1: Internal Behavior of Lumped Elements, with a focus on the DC and low-frequency behavior of electromagnetic fields within lumped elements, students will have gained the necessary knowledge to progress to advanced studies of electromagnetics.
List of contents

About the author
Dr. David Voltmer, Emeritus Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rose[1]Hulman Institute of Technology, received his formal education at Iowa State University (BS EE), University of Southern California (MS EE), and The Ohio State University (PhD EE). Informally, Dave has learned much from his many students while teaching at Pennsylvania State University and at Rose-Hulman. Dave (aka Dr. EMAG) has taught electromagnetic fields and waves, microwaves, and antennas for nearly four decades. Throughout his teaching career, Dave has focused on improving teaching methods and developing courses to keep pace with technological advancements. Spare moments not spent with his family are occupied by long distance bicycling and clawhammer style banjo. Dave is an ASEE Fellow and an IEEE Life Senior Member.
