About The Book
"Classical Electromagnetism in a Nutshell" by Jerrold Franklin is a comprehensive and accessible text that progresses from the foundational laws of electricity and magnetism to the intricate role of classical electromagnetism in a quantum world. This second edition, published by Dover in 2017, is designed for first-year graduate students in physics who have already completed an undergraduate course in electromagnetism. The text focuses on core concepts and integrates key aspects of mathematics and physics, providing a solid grounding in the subject.
The book takes readers through a systematic development of electromagnetism, starting with Maxwell's equations and culminating in a discussion of the subject's relevance in a quantum framework. Franklin's approach ensures that each stage of the theory is clearly explained and deeply connected to real-world physics applications. Throughout, readers gain the mathematical tools needed to solve practical problems, from electrostatics to magnetism and electromagnetic waves in matter.
Key topics covered include methods of solution in electrostatics, Green’s functions, electrostatics in matter, magnetism and ferromagnetism, electromagnetic waves in matter, and the electrodynamics of moving bodies. Special attention is also given to special relativity and its relation to electromagnetism, giving the book a modern context. The newly revised edition includes a valuable section titled "Answers to Odd-Numbered Problems," providing further insight into the problem-solving process.
This paperback edition, with its clear, well-structured presentation, serves as an essential guide for students seeking to master electromagnetism in both classical and modern contexts.
