Electricity and Magnetism An Introduction to the Mathematical Theory [Paperback]

A textbook on electricity and magnetism based upon lectures by the distinguished twentieth-century Cambridge mathematician.A textbook on electricity and magnetism first published in 1937, based upon lectures by the distinguished twentieth-century Cambridge mathematician, interspersed with examples for solution, for some of which answers are provided. It covers electrostatics, conductors and condensers, dielectrics, electrical images, currents, magnetism and electromagnetism, and magnetic induction.A textbook on electricity and magnetism first published in 1937, based upon lectures by the distinguished twentieth-century Cambridge mathematician, interspersed with examples for solution, for some of which answers are provided. It covers electrostatics, conductors and condensers, dielectrics, electrical images, currents, magnetism and electromagnetism, and magnetic induction.A. S. Ramsey (18671954) was a distinguished Cambridge mathematician and President of Magdalene College. He wrote several textbooks 'for the use of higher divisions in schools and for first-year students at university'. This book on electricity and magnetism, first published in 1937, and based upon his lectures over many years, was 'adapted more particularly to the needs of candidates for Part I of the Mathematical Tripos'. It covers electrostatics, conductors and condensers, dielectrics, electrical images, currents, magnetism and electromagnetism, and magnetic induction. The book is interspersed with examples for solution, for some of which answers are provided.1. Preliminary mathematics; 2. Introduction to electrostatics; 3. Conductors and condensers; 4.
