Excursions in Electromagnetics

If you think you understand Maxwells equations this book is definitely for you! This book is a sequel to the introductory book An Electrifying Introduction to Electromagnetics. Hop in and fasten your seat belts! An adventure awaits you on a roller-coaster ride across the electromagnetic field rewriting even reformulating and probing every detail in the formulation of Maxwells equations. New insights on the formulation of Maxwells equations are presented to understand why Maxwells equations are formulated the way they are. This work is also the journey of my struggle to answer the question Why is Faradays law formulated using the electric field and not the electric-displacement field also known as the electric-flux density? An outcome of this research is the hypothesis of a little more generalized version of Faradays law where Faradays law is formulated using the electric-displacement field making the present formulation of Faradays law a special case. Any proposal to reformulate Maxwells equations will surely be treated with a chuckle or disdain. I use this platform therefore to present my ideas. I present only a logical proof and limited empirical data with approximations. Feel free to challenge them until conclusive empirical results are available. But regardless this book will only strengthen your understanding of Maxwells equations.
