Career in Electromagnetics   Electromagnetics is the branch of electrical engineering (or physics) that deals with the analysis and application of electric and magnetic fields. In electromagnetics, electric circuit analysis is applied at low frequencies.

The principles of electromagnetics (EM) are applied in various allied disciplines, such as electric machines, electromechanical energy conversion, radar meteorology, remote sensing, satellite communications, bioelectromagnetics, electromagnetic interference and compatibility, plasmas, and fiber optics. EM devices include electric motors and generators, transformers, electromagnets, magnetic levitation, antennas, radars, microwave ovens, microwave dishes, superconductors, and electrocardiograms. The design of these devices requires a thorough knowledge of the laws and principles of EM.

EM is regarded as one of the more difficult disciplines in electrical engineering. One reason is that EM phenomena are rather abstract. But if one enjoys working with mathematics and can visualize the invisible, one should consider being a specialist in EM, since few electrical engineers specialize in this area. Electrical engineers who specialize in EM are needed in microwave industries, radio/TV broadcasting stations, electromagnetic research laboratories, and several communications industries.
