Abstract

Quasi-static models represent intermediate levels of electromagnetic theory between statics and the full set of Maxwell’s equations. Easier than general electrodynamics, quasistatics exhibits interesting physics and more important applications than statics for electromagnetic phenomena modeling. We introduce quasi-static models in a very simple way relying on a dimensional analysis of Maxwell’s equations and present their application to study electromagnetic phenomena in transmission lines.
