Among the many unique and novel features of the book are: author"s solutions of Maxwell"s equations (now referred to in the scientific literature as the "Jefimenko"s equations"), a comprehensive treatment of vector-analytical operations involving retarded field integrals, a detailed discussion of electric fields outside current-carrying conductors, spectacular line-of-force photographs of electric fields inside and outside current-carrying media, calculations of electric and magnetic fields from charge and current inhomogeneities, a remarkably simple derivation of Maxwell"s stress integrals, the "thin shell" atomic model, Minkowski"s equations for moving media, electromagnetic effects affecting space crafts moving through interplanetary or interstellar magnetic fields, a detailed analysis of Poynting"s energy flux in and out a cylindrical conduit, the method of "equivalent currents," etc., etc. The presentation is clear, logical, thorough and thought-provoking. Employing the time-independent Maxwell"s equations as the starting point, the theory is developed from the beginning on the basis of the Faraday-Maxwell concept of electric and magnetic fields. A generalization to the time-dependent Maxwell"s equations is effortless and lucid. Vector analysis is introduced early in a self-contained chapter and is then used throughout the text as a standard mathematical tool. The exposition is purposeful and efficient. Careful distinction is made between the definitions, laws and consequences.

Krishnaswamy Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase This is the one of the top class text books. Although it says it is intended for advanced undergraduate students, some of the problems even when they are provided with solutions are difficult for advanced undergraduate students. I strongly recommend this along with other standard graduate level texts. The only thing is this book does not get into the advanced subjects like the ones that Jackson gets into.

If we are expected to prepare undergraduated students to be involved in high level research on electromagnetism, this book is a must. It teaches how to solve real problems.

This book could be a solution if you have that problem... Comment | Was this review helpful to you? Yes No › See all 4 customer reviews (newest first) Write a customer review
