14: Appendices

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

  • 14.1: Numerical Constants
    This page presents a comprehensive list of fundamental physical constants, electrical conductivities of materials, and their relative dielectric and permeability values. It includes key constants like the speed of light, electron charge and mass, Planck's constant, and the universal gas constant. The conductivities range from metals like silver and copper to insulators like glass.
  • 14.2: Complex Numbers and Sinusoidal Representation
    This page explains that energy-storing linear systems are more responsive to sinusoidal inputs, represented using complex notation. It emphasizes the relationship between amplitude, frequency, and phase while illustrating the geometric interpretation of complex numbers as vectors.
  • 14.3: Mathematical Identities
    This page discusses vector operations across Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates, focusing on representing vectors, dot and cross products, and applying vector calculus identities such as divergence and curl. It emphasizes mathematical formulations and physical interpretations, covering key relationships like the triple product and vector derivatives.
  • 14.4: Basic Equations for Electromagnetics and Applications
    This page covers fundamental concepts in electromagnetism, including electric/magnetic fields, Maxwell's equations, and conservation laws. It examines circuit laws, such as Kirchhoff's, and delves into circuit behavior, capacitance, and inductance. Additionally, it discusses wave propagation and transmission line characteristics.
  • 14.5: Frequently Used Trigonometric and Calculus Expressions
    This page presents essential concepts of trigonometry and calculus, covering relationships between sine, cosine, and tangent, along with their derivatives. It includes definitions, key identities, and theorems like the Pythagorean theorem and Euler's formula. Additionally, it outlines derivative rules for exponential and power functions, as well as specific formulas for the derivatives and integrals of sine, cosine, and exponential functions.
