About this ebook
Introduction to Classical Electrodynamics 1 introduces the fundamentals of electromagnetic field theory.
This book begins with electrostatics, focusing on the concepts of point charges, electric fields, electric potential and Gauss’s theorem. It then examines conductors, influence phenomena and capacitors, before exploring electrokinetics, detailing the concepts of electric current, circuits and resistance, as well as Kirchhoff’s laws.
Next, this book analyzes the notion of magnetic field, Lorentz and Laplace forces, Biot-Savart’s law, Ampère’s theorem, electric and magnetic moments, and multipole developments. Boundary problems for static potentials in vacuum are also studied.
The book is aimed at students of physics and mathematics, as well as engineering students interested in electromagnetic theory, providing an overview of electromagnetic theory, with numerous practical applications.
