About The Book:

Electricity and Magnetism by P.F. Kelly provides a rigorous, detailed examination of classical electric and magnetic fields, along with the analysis of linear electric circuits. This first edition, which was released in March 2021, offers an in-depth exploration of the principles of classical mechanics applied to electric and magnetic phenomena.

The book covers fundamental topics, including electric force, field, potential, Gauss’s Law, capacitance, electric current, resistance, and Kirchhoff’s rules. The author goes on to explore the dynamics of DC circuits, both steady-state and time-dependent, and delves into magnetism with discussions on magnetic force, fields, and the production of magnetic fields through Ampère’s Law and Faraday’s Law. Additionally, the book covers induction, inductance, AC-driven circuit dynamics, and the solutions to Maxwell’s Equations in vacuum.

With a rich collection of more than four hundred problems, this book serves as an excellent resource for students of classical physics. Whether used as a primary textbook in introductory physics courses, as a supplementary text for further study, or as a revision guide for exams, it provides a comprehensive, problem-oriented approach to learning electricity and magnetism. This edition offers a crucial understanding of electromagnetism for both undergraduate and advanced students in physics.
