Focusing on electromagnetism, this third volume of a four-volume
textbook covers the electric field under static conditions, constant
electric currents and their laws, the magnetic field in a vacuum,
electromagnetic induction, magnetic energy under static conditions,
the magnetic properties of matter, and the unified description of
electromagnetic phenomena provided by Maxwell’s equations. The
four-volume textbook as a whole covers electromagnetism, mechanics,
fluids and thermodynamics, and waves and light, and is designed to
reflect the typical syllabus during the first two years of a
calculus-based university physics program. Throughout all four
volumes, particular attention is paid to in-depth clarification of
conceptual aspects, and to this end the historical roots of the
principal concepts are traced. Emphasis is also consistently placed on
the experimental basis of the concepts, highlighting the experimental
nature of physics. Whenever feasible at theelementary level, concepts
relevant to more advanced courses in quantum mechanics and atomic,
solid state, nuclear, and particle physics are included. The
textbook offers an ideal resource for physics students, lecturers and,
last but not least, all those seeking a deeper understanding of the
experimental basics of physics.
