A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism V1 (1881) - James Clerk Maxwell - Bog

A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism Volume 1, written by James Clerk Maxwell in 1881, is a comprehensive study of the fundamental principles of electricity and magnetism. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on electrostatics and the second part focusing on magnetism and electromagnetic induction. Maxwell begins by laying out the basic principles of electrostatics, including Coulomb's law, electric potential, and capacitance. He then delves into the concept of electric fields and their properties, including the behavior of conductors and insulators. Maxwell also explores the phenomena of polarization and electric displacement, and how they relate to the behavior of dielectrics.In the second part of the book, Maxwell turns his attention to magnetism and electromagnetic induction. He discusses the properties of magnetic fields and the behavior of magnetic materials, including the concept of magnetic susceptibility. Maxwell then moves on to explore the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, including Faraday's law and Lenz's law.Throughout the book, Maxwell uses mathematical equations and diagrams to illustrate his points, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of physics. A Treatise On Electricity And Magnetism Volume 1 is a seminal work in the history of electromagnetism, and remains an important reference for anyone interested in the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
