Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisFor junior/senior-level electricity and magnetism courses. This book is known for its clear, concise and accessible coverage of standard topics in a logical and pedagogically sound order. The Third Edition features a clear, accessible treatment of the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory, providing a sound platform for the exploration of related applications (ac circuits, antennas, transmission lines, plasmas, optics, etc.). Its lean and focused approach employs numerous examples and problems., This work offers accesible coverage of the fundamentals of electrodynamics, enhanced with with discussion points, examples and exercises.
