UNDERGRADUATE LECTURE NOTES IN PHYSICS A COUR...

Focusing on electromagnetism  this third volume of a four-volume textbook covers the electric
field under static conditions  constant electric currents and their laws  the magnetic field in
a vacuum  electromagnetic induction  magnetic energy under static conditions  the magnetic
properties of matter  and the unified description of electromagnetic phenomena provided by
Maxwell's equations. The four-volume textbook as a whole covers electromagnetism  mechanics 
fluids and thermodynamics  and waves and light  and is designed to reflect the typical syllabus
during the first two years of a calculus-based university physics program. Throughout all four
volumes  particular attention is paid to in-depth clarification of conceptual aspects  and to
this end the historical roots of the principal concepts are traced. Emphasis is also
consistently placed on the experimental basis of the concepts  highlighting the experimental
nature of physics. Whenever feasible at the elementary level  concepts relevant to more
advanced courses in quantum mechanics and atomic  solid state  nuclear  and particle physics
are included. The textbook offers an ideal resource for physics students  lecturers and  last
but not least  all those seeking a deeper understanding of the experimental basics of physics.
