Solved Problems in Classical Electromagnetism is a valuable tool to
help students learn to do physics while using concepts they learn in the
courses. Students who are taking or have already taken an advanced EM
course will find the book to be a useful adjunct to their textbook,
giving added practice in applying what they are learning. For students
who are taking an undergraduate EM course and want to get more depth,
this book can help them achieve that aim and also help them prepare for
graduate work. Beginning students, or those not even taking a course at
the moment, can benefit from these problems and learn just from working
on them with the help of the solutions. In each chapter, the problems
start out relatively easy and then get progressively more advanced,
helping students to go just as far as they can at their present level.
The book includes a number of review sections to assist students without
previous advanced training in working out the problems. The first review
section is a comprehensive development of vector calculus that will
prepare students to solve the problems and provide a strong foundation
for their future development as physicists. The problems are drawn from
the topics of electrostatics, magnetostatics, Maxwell's equations,
electromagnetic radiation, and relativisitc electromagnetism.
