Electricity and Magnetism Edward M. Purcell and David J. Morin are English-language textbooks aimed at the core principles of electricity and magnetism. This classic textbook is intended for students in higher education and offers a thorough treatment of the subject area.
The third edition has been updated and fully converted to SI units. The book contains hundreds of examples, problems, and illustrations that support the theory. Important topics such as electrostatics, magnetism, electrical circuits, and electromagnetic fields in matter are covered in depth. The unique character of the book lies in putting magnetism in perspective as a relativistic effect and linking mathematical concepts to physical applications.
This study book combines clear explanations with practice-oriented exercises, making it suitable as a base text for courses in electricity and magnetism. With almost 600 concluding chapter exercises, it is a valuable reference work for physics students and related fields of study.
The content aligns with themes such as Electricity, electromagnetism and magnetism within scientific disciplines.
