书籍简介

50年来，E.M.珀塞尔的经典教科书向学生们展示了电场和磁场的世界。第3版又做了更新，统一使用靠前标准单位（SIunits），新增了数以百计的新实验、新问题、新数据，另外一个特点就是增加了物理在实际生活中应用的内容。这本教科书涵盖了所有的电磁场方面的知识点，包括静电学、磁场、电流、电磁波，以及物质中的电磁场，等等。用现代的方法来看，磁场的产生是相对论作用的结果。随着物理知识的深入，引入了数学概念和公式，这使得物理的阐述过程更加清晰。讲述的宏观物理现象由基础的微观物理严格导出。有用的例子、几百个图解说明、将近600道章后思考题和习题，使得这本书成为电磁学课程的理想教材。

For 50 years, Edward M. Purcell's classic textbook has introduced students to the world of electricity and magnetism. The third edition has been brought up to date and is now in SI units. It features hundreds of new examples, problems, and figures, and contains discussions of real-life applications. The textbook covers all the standard introductory topics, such as electrostatics, magnetism, circuits, electromagnetic waves, and electric and magnetic fields in matter. Taking a nontraditional approach, magnetism is derived as a relativistic effect. Mathematical concepts are introduced in parallel with the physics topics at hand, making the motivations clear. Macroscopic phenomena are derived rigorously from the underlying microscopic physics. With worked examples, hundreds of illustrations, and nearly 600 end-of-chapter problems and exercises, this textbook is ideal for electricity and magnetism courses. Solutions to the exercises are available for instructors at www.cambridge.org/Purcell-Morin.

• Revised and updated edition of a classic textbook, with Gaussian units now converted to SI units

• Hundreds of exercises, worked examples and illustrative figures have been added

• Applications at the end of each chapter enable students see how the concepts relate to the real world

作者简介

Edward M. Purcell

Edward M. Purcell (1912–97) was the recipient of many awards for his scientific, educational and civic work. In 1952 he shared the Nobel Prize for Physics for his independent discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance in liquids and in solids, an elegant and precise way of determining chemical structure and properties of materials which is widely used today. During his career he served as science advisor to Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.
