The previously published book Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism provides a clear, calculus-based introduction to a subject that together with classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and modern physics lies at the heart of today's physics curriculum. The lectures, although relatively concise, take one from Coulomb's law to Maxwell's equations and special relativity in a lucid and logical fashion. That book contains an extensive set of accessible problems that enhances and extends the coverage. As an aid to teaching and learning, the present book provides the solutions to those problems.

Contents:

  • Preface

  • Electricity:

    • Introduction
    • Coulomb's Law
    • The Electric Field
    • Gauss' Law
    • The Electrostatic Potential
    • Electric Energy
    • Capacitors and Dielectrics
    • Currents and Ohm's Law
    • DC Circuits
    • Review of Electricity
  • Magnetism:

    • Vectors
    • The Magnetic Force and Field
    • Ampere's Law
    • Electromagnetic Induction
    • Magnetic Materials
    • Time-Dependent Circuits
    • Review of Magnetism
  • Electromagnetism:

    • Maxwell's Equations
    • Waves
    • Electromagnetic Waves
    • More Electromagnetic Waves
    • The Theory of Special Relativity
    • Review of Electromagnetism
  • Appendix A: Vector Identities

  • Bibliography

  • Index

Readership: Undergraduates and academics in physics.
Key Features:

  • Presentation is self-contained even if the text is aimed at the very best students who have completed a good course in calculus and are familiar with vectors and Newton's laws
  • Given the astonishing range of applicability of the principles of electromagnetism, the introduction provides a comprehensive foundation to approach many more advanced texts and monographs with a better understanding
