Physics & Astronomy

Electromagnetism sets a new standard in physics education. Throughout the book, the theory is illustrated with real-life applications in modern technology. It also includes detailed worked examples and step-by-step explanations to help students develop their problem-solving strategies and skills and consolidate their understanding. In addition to a meticulous development of these traditional, analytical mathematical approaches, students are also introduced to a range of techniques required for solving problems using computers. Electromagnetism provides an ideal preparation for students who plan more advanced studies in electrodynamics as well as those moving into industry or engineering.

• Basic mathematical theory is illustrated throughout with real-life applications in modern technology and everyday life, including: cellular telephones and wireless communication devices; magnetic resonance imaging techniques in medical applications; microwave ovens; radar for aircraft guidance; and global positioning systems.

• Introduces many mathematical techniques, both modern and traditional. For example, Chapter 2 provides an accessible review of vector calculus including an introduction to modern suffix notation.

• Over 400 tried-and-tested end-of-chapter problems are included, ranked in level of difficulty.

• Explanations of modern techniques and specific exercises prepare students for solving problems using computers. For example, Chapter 5 includes a discussion, examples, and end-of-chapter exercises on the technique of iterative relaxation.

• A wide variety of worked examples help students gain confidence and lead them on to be able to tackle more advanced problems. Detailed explanations alongside each worked example help students to develop problem-solving strategies and consolidate their understanding at each step.

• Carefully developed line figures help students visualize difficult concepts and encourage them to sketch similar diagrams when solving problems.

• References to key historical developments are included to give the student perspective and relevance. For instance, how models of electric and magnetic fields relate to modern field theories.
