Modern technology is rapidly developing and for this reason future engineers need to acquire advanced knowledge in science and technology, including electromagnetic phenomena. This book is a contemporary text of a one-semester course for junior electrical engineering students. It covers a broad spectrum of electromagnetic phenomena such as, surface waves, plasmas, photonic crystals, negative refraction as well as related materials including superconductors. In addition, the text brings together electromagnetism and optics as the majority of texts discuss electromagnetism disconnected from optics. In contrast, in this book both are discussed. Seven labs have been developed to accompany the material of the book. \n > PART I: ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS IN ISOTROPIC MEDIA. CHAPTER 1. ELECTROSTATICS. Electric charges, electric charge conservation law, Coulomb\u2019s law. Electric field vector, principle of superposition. Electric potential and electric field energy. Gauss\u2019s law A
