内容説明

This text by the noted Indian physicist succeeds in presenting the essentials of electricity and magnetism in an unusually clear and concise format. The book is intended for advanced undergraduates of physics, and despite its comparatively short length of 300 pages it serves as a comprehensive exposition of the subject. In addition to the usual topics, it covers magnetohydrodynamics and plasma oscillation in two short chapters. The special theory of relativity has been brought in to the extent that it explains more clearly the Lorentz covariance of Maxwell's equations. Radiation reaction is covered at an elementary level and the Wheeler-Faymann absorber theory is dealt with briefly.
