Electricity and Magnetism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This text applies the principles of classical mechanics to reveal the laws governing electric and magnetic phenomena. Exposition of classical electric and magnetic fields is interwoven with analyses of linear electric circuits. Beginning with electric charge, the book culminates in Maxwellâ s equations, which provide a complete description of cla
