Electromagnetic Theory, Volume 1 is a 1979 book by the electronics engineer Ivor Catt, published by C.A.M. Publishing.

Overview

The book is the first volume of Catt's presentation of his "energy current" theory of electromagnetism, in which electromagnetic energy propagates as a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) step travelling at the speed of light in the dielectric between conductors. From this Catt reinterprets charge, current, and the capacitor, and lays the groundwork for his "Theory C" and the "Catt Question." It is continued in Electromagnetic Theory, Volume 2 (see also Electromagnetism I).
