About The Book:

Electricity and Magnetism by P.F. Kelly is the final volume in a comprehensive three-part series, providing a detailed exposition of classical electric and magnetic fields, along with an analysis of linear electric circuits. The book applies the principles of classical mechanics to systematically uncover the laws governing the observed electric and magnetic phenomena.

The text begins with the fundamentals, covering electric force, fields, and potentials, as well as Gauss’s Law for electric fields, capacitance, and networks of capacitors. It moves through essential topics like electric current, resistance, and Kirchhoff's rules, and delves into steady-state and time-dependent DC circuit dynamics. Magnetic forces and fields are explored in-depth, along with Ampère’s Law, Faraday’s Law, and induction and inductance in AC-driven circuits. The book culminates with a comprehensive treatment of Maxwell’s Equations and their plane-wave vacuum solutions, providing a complete description of electromagnetism.

With over four hundred problems throughout, this book is ideal for students studying classical physics and electromagnetism. It can be used as a primary textbook for an introductory physics course, as a supplement for further study, or as a review guide for graduate or professional exams. Whether studied independently or as part of the series, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of electricity and magnetism.
