Electrodynamics

This book of problems and solutions is a natural continuation of Ilie and Schrecengost’s first book Electromagnetism: Problems and Solutions. As with the first book, this book is written for junior or senior undergraduate students, and for graduate students who may have not studied electrodynamics yet and who may want to work on more problems and have an immediate feedback while studying.

This book of problems and solutions is a companion for the student who would like to work independently on more electrodynamics problems in order to deepen their understanding and problem solving skills and perhaps prepare for graduate school. This book discusses main concepts and techniques related to Maxwell’s equations, conservation laws, electromagnetic waves, potentials and fields, and radiation.

Author Biography

Carolina C. Ilie is an Associate Professor with tenure at State University of New York at Oswego. She taught Electromagnetic Theory for almost ten years and she designed various problems for her students’ exams, group work and quizzes. Dr. Ilie obtained the Ph.D. in Physics and Astronomy at University of Nebraska at Lincoln, a M.Sc. in Physics at the Ohio State University and another M. Sc. in Physics at University of Bucharest, Romania. She was received the President’s Award for Teaching Excellence in 2016 and the Provost Award for Mentoring in Scholarly and Creative Activity in 2013. She lives in Central New York with her spouse, also a physicist, and their two sons. Zachariah S. Schrecengost is a State University of New York alumnus. He graduated with a B.S. degree having completed majors in Physics, Software Engineering, and Applied Mathematics. He worked as a software engineer in Syracuse and is now working on his Ph.D. in Physics. He is also a co-author of Electromagnetism: Problems and Solutions.
