Synopsis

Foundations of Electricity and Magnetism offers a concise, math‑driven introduction to charge, potential, and conductors, with worked examples to reinforce theory.

Written as a self-contained primer, it guides readers through the essentials of electrostatics, magnetism, and the behavior of currents and circuits. The book also explains electrical measurements, units, and the practical tools used by engineers and physicists, from the centimeter–gram–second system to common modern units.

• Core concepts in electricity and magnetism, including laws of electrical action and the nature of potential.
• Detailed treatment of conductors, capacitors, and the flow of current in wires and circuits.
• Introduction to electrical units, measurement, and the relationship between electrical work and heat (Joule’s law).
• Foundations for studying machines—dynamos and motors—and the practical aspects of power transmission.

Ideal for readers starting with university‑level physics or engineering, this edition pairs mathematical rigor with clear, approachable explanations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from An Introduction To: The Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism

In this edition I have corrected some mistakes, and made some additions that seemed essential.

I trust that some degree of originality (which I have not hitherto claimed) will be recognized in the treatment of certain subjects.

This book has been written with the object of supplying an Introduction to the Mathematical treatment of Electricity and Magnetism, and will, it is hoped, be useful to those who possess the requisite elementary knowledge of Differential and Integral Calculus. It is complete in itself, and may be read without previous knowledge of the subject. Purely experimental parts of the subject, requiring no special mathematical treatment, have been entirely omitted.

The Author is especially indebted for assistance to the Treatises of Professor Clerk Maxwell, and of Messrs. Mascart and Joubert.
