All students of physics need to understand the basic concepts of
electricity and magnetism. E&M is central to the study of
physics, and central to understanding the developments of the last
two hundred years of not just science, but technology and society
in general. But the core of electricity and magnetism can be
difficult to understand - many of the ideas are counterintuitive
and difficult to appreciate. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to
Great Ideas in Science series traces the central concepts of
electricity and magnetism from the ancient past to the present day,
enabling students to develop a deeper understanding of how the
science arose as it has. In addition, Electricity and Magnetism: A
Historical Perspective supports curriculum guidelines that stress
student understanding of the history and nature of the scientific
enterprise. The volume examines the work of many of the most
important scientists of the past: Benjamin Franklin and his fluid
theory of electricity BLJames Clerk Maxwell and the development of
the theory of electromagnetism BLAlbert Einstein and his special
theory of relativity, which arose from debates over Maxwell's
theory Electricity and Magnetism also examines the importance of
the scientific research to modern technology - radio and
television, computers, and light and power. Jargon and mathematics
is kept to a minimum, and the volume includes a timeline and an
annotated bibliography of useful print and online works for further
research.Electricity and Magnetism is an ideal introduction for
students studying physics and technology and who need to understand
the history and nature of the scientific enterprise.
