Engineering electrodynamics is the science of the practical industrial application of classical electrodynamics and physics. It takes into account physical properties of materials, magnetic and thermal nonlinearities, forces and motion, and so on. Semi-empirical, analytical–experimental,
rationally reduced models and simplified computer programs are often used to accelerate and simplify obtaining the results and provide practical tools of rapid design. Frequently, very useful for rapid design are the achievements of previous generations of engineers, in the form of parametric formulas derived analytically, quite often with practical correction coefficients. A contemporary designer who has to deal with various materials, including conductors, semiconductors, and dielectrics, of constant and variable parameters, operating within temperatures from almost absolute zero to several thousands of degrees centigrade, at weak or very strong fields, has to combine his skills in classical electrodynamics with the knowledge of materials’ microstructure and their physical and processing properties. This book attempts to address the practical aspects of these issues.
