任何涉及科学和/或工程的课程最终都会进入物理学领域。本书旨在向学生介绍物理学中的一些基本概念,并说明不同的理论是如何从物理观察和现象中发展出来的。这本书介绍了静电学、磁学和电磁波的多章章节,着眼于过去和未来,一路上涉及库仑、高斯、麦克斯韦、欧姆、毕奥-萨伐尔、安培、法拉第、菲涅尔和洛伦兹。这本书还包含一个附录,为读者提供了向量分析和向量微分算子的部分数学背景。这本书通过实例和解决问题的技巧来探讨其主题,生动地说明了物理理论是如何应用于工程和科学问题的。这本书主要针对这两个领域的本科生,但也有针对高年级本科生撰写毕业论文的章节。
Electromagnetism: With Solved Problems (Undergraduate Texts in Physics)
Any curriculum involving science and/or engineering will eventually find itself entering the realm of physics. This book seeks to introduce students to a number of the fundamental concepts in physics and illustrate how different theories were developed out of physical observations and phenomena. The book presents multi-chapter sections on electrostatics, magnetism and electromagnetic waves, with eyes on both the past and the future, touching, along the way, on Coulomb, Gauss, Maxwell, Ohm, Biot-Savart, Ampere, Faraday, Fresnel and Lorentz. The book also contains an appendix that provides the reader with a portion of the mathematical background of vector analysis and vector differential operators. The book approaches its topics through a focus on examples and problem-solving techniques, illustrating vividly how physical theories are applied to problems in engineering and science. The book is primarily aimed at undergraduate students in these two fields, but it also features chapters that are geared towards senior undergraduates working on their final year theses.
