The final volume in a three-part series, Electricity and Magnetism provides a detailed exposition of classical electric and magnetic fields and analyses of linear electric circuits. The book applies the principles of classical mechanics to systematically reveal the laws governing observed electric and magnetic phenomena. The text culminates in Maxwell's Equations, which, although only four in number, can completely describe all physical aspects of electromagnetism. The specific topics covered in Electricity and Magnetism include: Electric force, field, and potential Gauss's Law for Electric Fields Capacitance and networks of capacitors Electric current Resistance and networks of resistors Kirchoff's Rules Steady state and time-dependent DC circuit dynamics Magnetic force and field Production of magnetic fields Ampère's Law Gauss's Law for Magnetic Fields Faraday's Law Induction and inductance AC-driven circuit dynamics and energetics Maxwell's Equations and their plane-wave vacuum solutions This text extends the rigorous calculus-based introduction to classical physics begun in Elements of Mechanics. It may be studied independently of the second volume, Properties of Materials. With more than four hundred and fifty problems included, it can serve as a primary textbook in an introductory physics course, as a student supplement, or as an exam review for graduate or professional studies.

The University Physics provides students with a solid foundation of introductory physics. The complete University Physics covers topics in Mechanics, Gravitation, Waves, Sound, Fluids, Thermodynamics, Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics. Various concepts and ideas of physics are developed starting from a few basic principles. The examples in the book contain both the numerical and the symbolic problems. The level of rigor is suitable for students concurrently enrolled in the Calculus sequence in Mathematics. Detailed guided exercises and challenging problems help students develop their skills in problem solving.

The Present edition of our book is a redesigned and updated version of the earlier edition. The Chapters have been redesigned and a number of concepts have been rewritten for better clarification. The diagrams have been redrawn and relabelled and the “layout” and “printing” has been improved. We have provided a large number of solved problems to enable the reader to understand the intricacies of solving the basic problem of: • Electrostatics (calculation of electric field for a variety of charge distributions) and • Magnetism (calculation of the magnetic field for a variety of current distributions). • Parallel AC Circuit analysis, using complex numbers
