Electricity And Magnetism - Tapa dura

This new edition of Electricity and Magnetism retains all the features that have made it so attractive to students and lecturers over the years. The aim remains the same: to lead the student who has only a sketchy knowledge of the subject relatively slowly through the earlier stages, with a careful development of new concepts as they appear, and to provide a treatment that does not depend on great sophistication in the handling of mathematics. The pace then quickens in line with the student's increasing mastery of the subject, and the overall text achieves a standard appropriate for the first two years of an honours degree in physics, and for the final year of combined honours degree and for those majoring in physics. It is also suitable for the early stages of electrical and electronic engineering courses.
The innovative features of earlier editions have been retained. These include the emphasis on the experimental bases, the careful formulation of general laws with discussion of their limitations, the end of chapter commentaries dealing with tricky points and recent developments, and the revision summaries for those facing tests and examinations.
By providing continual guidance through what is traditionally a difficult subject, by constantly stimulating interest, and by encouraging further study and reading with up-to-date references, the author has maintained the student-oriented approach of previous editions and has reinforces it here with many new features.

A text in electricity and magnetism designed for undergraduates in their first and second year in physics and for the early stages of an electronic engineering course. It emphasizes the experimental basics, the development of concept and the formulation of laws applied to specific problems.
