Many theoretical physics books written by Professors and Lecturers at Universities are useful mainly to students and contain l i t t l e of p r a c t i c a l v a l u e t o o t h e r s s u c h a s industrial users and engineers. It is, therefore, a pleasant change to find a theoretical book containing a large number of q u e s t i o n s a n d a n s w e r s of r e a l p r a c t i c a l value. Questions involving cables, capacitors magnetic devices, heat flow through walls, satellite orbits are given, together with detailed answers. The book is a companion volume to "Engineering Field Theory"
(Pergamon Press 1973).
