Universal physical constants.This book is derived from modules forming a full course in electricity and magnetism (E&M) as given by the authors. The book starts with the definition of the electrization state, describing both the electrization state of charged and polarized bodies, respectively, and goes on to discuss how the electric field develops in conductors to electrostatic equilibrium, as well as in insulating materials, especially in dielectrics. This book is suitable for students taking a general E&M course or those undertaking a more specialized course in electrostatics. The advanced math support required to follow the scientific content of the book is provided through appendices, and theoretical concepts are consistently blended with examples of real-life applications. It contains numerous worked examples and exercises that will help students to secure an excellent assimilation of the knowledge, as well as a deep understanding of the physical phenomena under discussion and representing the most important methods to solve electrostatic problems.Professional and scholarly.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.dStefan Antohe graduated in 1977 within Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest, Romania, and he finished in 1994 a PhD program in physics at the same institution. He is currently Professor Emeritus of the University of Bucharest, Head of the Research and Development Center for Materials and Electronic & Optoelectronic Devices (MDEO) of the Faculty of Physics, as well as Full Member of the Academy of Romanian Scientists (AOSR). His main research activities are dedicated to the physics of organic and inorganic semiconducting thin films and nanomaterials, with special emphasis on investigation of charge transport mechanisms within materials and interfaces. He also possesses great knowledge on the fabrication technologies and characterization of various electronic and optoelectronic devices, especially photovoltaic cells and transparent field-effect transistors. He has co-authored more than 250 scientific publications in ISI journals, he has supervised several PhD and post-doctoral fellows, and coordinated numerous research projects. Vlad-Andrei Antohe received in 2002 a bachelor's degree (BSc) in Physics Education and in 2005 a Master diploma (MSc) in Physical Electronics, from Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest, Romania. He also obtained in 2003 an Engineering degree (MEng) in Electronics from Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications, Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Romania. Then, he finished in 2012 a PhD program in Applied Engineering Sciences, the diploma being awarded by Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium, where he continued his post-Doctoral studies until 2016. Since then, he has been an Associate Professor of University of Bucharest and a Scientific Collaborator of Catholic University of Louvain. Besides teaching activities with undergraduate and graduate students, his main research interests are in the areas of materials science and nanotechnology, with particular focus on the development and investigation of nanostructured materials and low-dimensional architectures, with the aim of generating novel structural arrangements tailored to specific desired properties. He also has expertise in the fabrication and characterization of electronic and optoelectronic devices based on inorganic, organic, or hybrid organic/inorganic nanostructured materials, such as photovoltaic cells, sensors and biosensors, magnetic media for various applications, as well as micro-batteries, micro-supercapacitors and other electrochemical systems. He has co-authored around 60 scientific publications, of which more than 15 ISI research papers are published in journals with high impact factor ranging approximately from 5 to 32.Title from PDF title page (viewed on September 5, 2023).
