商品描述

This graduate-level physics textbook provides a comprehensive treatment of the basic principles and phenomena of classical electromagnetism. While many electromagnetism texts use the subject to teach mathematical methods of physics, here the emphasis is on the physical ideas themselves. Anupam Garg distinguishes between electromagnetism in vacuum and that in material media, stressing that the core physical questions are different for each. In vacuum, the focus is on the fundamental content of electromagnetic laws, symmetries, conservation laws, and the implications for phenomena such as radiation and light. In material media, the focus is on understanding the response of the media to imposed fields, the attendant constitutive relations, and the phenomena encountered in different types of media such as dielectrics, ferromagnets, and conductors. The text includes applications to many topical subjects, such as magnetic levitation, plasmas, laser beams, and synchrotrons.

Classical Electromagnetism in a Nutshell is ideal for a yearlong graduate course and features more than 300 problems, with solutions to many of the advanced ones. Key formulas are given in both SI and Gaussian units; the book includes a discussion of how to convert between them, making it accessible to adherents of both systems.

* Emphasizes physical ideas
* Separates the treatment of electromagnetism in vacuum and material media
* Presents key formulas in both SI and Gaussian units
* Covers applications to other areas of physics
* Includes more than 300 problems

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本研究生級別的物理教科書提供了對古典電磁學基本原理和現象的全面介紹。許多電磁學教材用這個主題來教授物理的數學方法,但這本書的重點在於物理思想本身。Anupam Garg區分了真空中的電磁學和材料媒介中的電磁學,強調每個領域的核心物理問題是不同的。在真空中,重點是電磁定律、對稱性、守恆定律以及輻射和光等現象的基本內容。在材料媒介中,重點是理解材料對施加的電場的響應、相關的本質關係,以及在介電體、鐵磁體和導體等不同類型的媒介中遇到的現象。本書還包括許多熱門主題的應用,如磁懸浮、等離子體、激光束和同步加速器。

《古典電磁學概要》適合一年的研究生課程,並提供了300多個問題,其中許多問題的解答也提供了。重要的公式以國際單位制和高斯單位制給出;本書還討論了如何在兩種單位制之間進行轉換,使其適用於兩種制度的使用者。
