Electricity and Magnetism, the final volume in a three-part series, offers a comprehensive exploration of classical electric and magnetic fields, along with detailed analyses of linear electric circuits. Drawing upon the principles of classical mechanics, the book systematically reveals the laws governing observed electric and magnetic phenomena. The culmination of the text is Maxwell's Equations, which, despite consisting of only four equations, provide a complete description of all physical aspects of electromagnetism. The specific topics covered in Electricity and Magnetism include electric force, field, and potential, Gauss's Law for Electric Fields, capacitance and networks of capacitors, electric current, resistance and networks of resistors, Kirchoff's Rules, steady state and time-dependent DC circuit dynamics, magnetic force and field, production of magnetic fields, Ampère's Law, Gauss's Law for Magnetic Fields, Faraday's Law, induction and inductance, AC-driven circuit dynamics and energetics, and Maxwell's Equations and their plane-wave vacuum solutions. This text builds upon the rigorous calculus-based introduction to classical physics introduced in Elements of Mechanics and can be studied independently of the second volume, Properties of Materials. With over four hundred and fifty problems included, it serves as a primary textbook in an introductory physics course, as a student supplement, or as an exam review for graduate or professional studies.
