Electrodynamics is a basic area of physics, encompassing
also classical and quantum physics, optics, relativity and field
theory, and is of universal practical importance. The present text aims
at a balance between basic theory and practical applications, and
includes introductions to specific quantum mechanical effects. The
detailed presentation allows the reader to follow every step. Each
chapter is supplemented by both worked examples and unsolved exercises.
This thoroughly revised second edition with new sections on networks
and diffraction, and with international units stated wherever relevant,
covers all the material normally required for a first degree in physics
and beyond, and may serve as a step to advanced applications and
research.
