Description

For 50 years, Edward M. Purcell's classic textbook has served as a staple for students entering the field of electromagnetism. This third edition from Cambridge University Press has been updated to use SI units, ensuring modern scientific accuracy. The text covers essential introductory topics including electrostatics, magnetism, circuits, electromagnetic waves, and electric and magnetic fields in matter. This edition provides a unique learning experience by taking a nontraditional approach where magnetism is derived as a relativistic effect. To support student comprehension, mathematical concepts are introduced in parallel with physical theory. With hundreds of new examples, problems, and figures, this textbook includes discussions of real-life applications to connect theoretical physics with practical reality.
