Electromagnetic devices

by Herbert C. Roters

In 1941 the publication Electromagnetic Devices by Herbert C. Roters was produced and began as a textbook for electrical engineering students at Stevens Institute of Technology. This book continued as a premiere reference source in solenoid magnetics for many years due to its detailed and exhaustive treatment of the subject at that time. Prior to computer aided computations and finite element analysis, iron core magnetic calculations required a tedious referral to the iron BH relationships found on a graph of the particular iron used. This book is of that vintage and thus provides a more detailed study than is typically learned by students that utilize fea software to solve magnetic models. It is not a competitor for solving such models in industry today but certainly contains details that a Phd. should be cognizant of. This book deserves 5 stars. David B. Mohler 10/29/2020
