A student's guide to Maxwell's equations/ Daniel Fleisch

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New Delhi: Cambridge University Press, 2008Description: ix, 134 pages. : Illustrations; 23 cmISBN:
  • 9780521187312
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 530.141 F596
Contents:
1. Gauss's law for electric fields -- 2. Gauss's law for magnetic fields -- 3. Faraday's law -- 4. The Ampere-Maxwell law -- 5. From Maxwell's equations to the wave equation
Summary: Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere–Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the electromagnetic theory of light. This book is a wonderful resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in electromagnetism and electromagnetics.
