Electromagnetism is basic to our understanding of the properties of matter and yet is often regarded as a difficult part of the first degree course in physics. In this book, Professor Dobbs provides a clear account of the subject, leading the student from electrostatics through to Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic waves, covering the material needed by students taking courses on electricity, magnetism and electromagnetic waves. Though the emphasis is on essentials, interesting applications are also discussed. Vector operators are introduced at the appropriate points, and worked examples and exercises with answers are included.
