Electromagnetics from a quasistatic perspective

Abstract

Quasistatic models provide intermediate levels of electromagnetic theory in between statics and the full set of Maxwell’s equations. Quasistatics is easier than general electrodynamics and in some ways more similar to statics, but exhibits more interesting physics and more important applications than statics. Quasistatics is frequently used in electromagnetic modeling, and the pedagogical potential of electromagnetic simulations gives additional support for the importance of quasistatics. Quasistatics is introduced in a way that fits into the standard textbook presentations of electrodynamics.
