About The Book

"Electromagnetism" (Volume 3) by Alessandro Bettini is part of a four-volume textbook series designed to reflect the typical syllabus in the first two years of a calculus-based university physics program. This volume focuses on classical electromagnetism, covering topics such as static electric fields, constant electric currents, magnetic fields in a vacuum, electromagnetic induction, and the unified description of electromagnetic phenomena as explained by Maxwell’s equations.

The book emphasizes conceptual understanding, tracing the historical roots of electromagnetism while highlighting the experimental nature of physics. Bettini integrates relevant concepts from quantum mechanics and other advanced topics, making this book an essential resource for students interested in both classical and modern physics.
