Description
This textbook presents a unified approach to electromagnetic theory, treating electric and magnetic fields as different aspects of the same physical quantity. By applying relativistic principles, it demonstrates the essential unity of electromagnetism.
The author explores the fundamental laws governing electrostatics and their extension into the realm of special relativity. Topics covered include Gauss's theorem, Coulomb's law, the Faraday effect, and Fresnel's equations, as well as more advanced concepts such as radiation fields, interference, and waveguides.
With a focus on mathematical rigor and problem-solving exercises, this book is suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students seeking a comprehensive understanding of electromagnetism in its relativistic framework.
