Electricity, Relativity and Magnetism: A Unified Text presents the
first complete and systematic derivation of the principles of
magnetism and electromagnetism from Coulomb s law and the theory of
special relativity alone. Most books on magnetism introduce the
subject in terms of experimental observations, as if magnetism were
distinct from, albeit associated with, electricity. The topic of
relativity is often mentioned, but almost as an afterthought,
rather than as a crucial element of the argument. In this new book
from Dr Derek Craik, the important links between electricity and
magnetism, via special relativity, are emphasized, leading the
reader to a more meaningful and profound understanding of the
subject.
Electricity, Relativity and Magnetism: A Unified Text gives a
simple and brief review of Einstein s special theory of relativity,
emphasizing force transformations. An outline of electrostatics,
Coulomb s law and its consequences, is also given and is shown to
lead to the basis of magnetostatics. Time-dependent electromagnetic
effects are introduced naturally via the transformation equations
for fields and for potentials, and Maxwell s equations are
systematically derived. Magnetic dipoles and magnetization are
shown to arise on transforming electric dipoles and polarizations.
The author next discusses the application of the theory to
practical magnetic calculations, and finally goes on to introduce
the quantum theory of magnetism. The concept of spin is introduced,
leading to spin statics and magnetic ordering, and spin dynamics
and resonances. An account of crystal field theory is included. All
whose work and research involves the understanding of magnetic
phenomena will find Electricity, Relativity and Magnetism: A
Unified Text an invaluable resource which will enhance and deepen
their understanding of the subject.
