Magnetic Fields

Provides physicists and engineers with a treatment of the magnetic aspects of classical electromagnetic theory, focusing on key issues and problems arising in the generation and application of magnetic fields. Topics are selected for their relevance to theoretical frameworks as well as current technologies. Chapters are in sections on foundations of magnetic field theory, magnetic potentials, periodic fields and wave phenomena, magnetic field diffusion and eddy currents, electromagnetic and thermal energies, magnetic forces, magnetohydrodynamics and properties of matter, and numerical and analog solution methods. Each chapter opens with engineering examples. Appendices offer mathematical reviews. Knoepfel is affiliated with the Frascati Research Center of the Italian Agency for New Technologies, Energy and the Environment, Italy, and directs the School of Fusion Reactor Technology at the "Ettore Majorana" Center for Scientific Culture, Sicily.
