Description
Book SynopsisThis book is a very comprehensive textbook covering in great depth all the electricity and magnetism. The 2nd edition includes new and revised figures and exercises in many of the chapters, and the number of problems and exercises for the student is increased.
In the 1st edition, emphasis much was made of superconductivity, and this methodology will be continued in the new edition by strengthening of the E-B analogy. Many of the new exercises and problems are associated with the E-B analogy, which enables those teaching from the book to select suitable teaching methods depending on the student’s ability and courses taken, whether physics, astrophysics, or engineering.
Changes in the chapters include a detailed discussion of the equivector-potential surface and its correspondence between electricity and magnetism. The shortcomings of using the magnetic scalar potential are also explained. The zero resistivity in a magnetic material showing perfect diamagnetism can be easily proved.
This textbook is an ideal text for students, who are competent in calculus and are taking physics, astrophysics, or engineering at degree level. It is also useful as a reference book for the professional scientist.
Trade Review“The purpose of this book … is to provide an introduction to electromagnetism which is oriented toward superconductivity applications. It is this practical aspect that distinguishes this book from others. The volume also provides the reader with a set of exercises and homework problems. The target audience for this book is undergraduate and graduate students in physics and engineering.” (Christian Brosseau, optica-opn.org, April 21, 2022)
