FundamenMlj Electricity Magnetism by LEONARD B. LOEB Professor of
Physics, University of California Third Edition 1947 New York-JOHN
WILEY SONS, Inc. London CHAPMAN HALL, Limited PREFACE This is the
third edition of a textbook prepared in mimeograph form in 1927 and
published in a first edition in 1931. It was written to fill a
specific need at the University of California, which was one of the
first universities to give basic physics for engineers, physicists,
and chemists in four three-credit courses during the first two
collegiate years of study. The first semester was devoted to
mechanics followed by heat and properties of matter in the second
electricity and magne tism in the third and sound, light, and
atomic structure in the fourth. This course in physics was closely
coordinated with mathematics sequence, the first semester of which
was analytical geometry, the second differential calculus, and the
third and fourth integral calculus. For such a program the usual
textbooks in beginning physics djd not include a sufficiently
advanced treatment of electricity anid magnetism. After World War 1
1 the basic course in physics was rearranged into three four-credit
courses in a sequence starting in the second semester of the
freshman year. Before starting physics the student takes a semester
of analytical geometry and some differential calculus. In the next
two semesters the concurrent courses in mathematics and physics are
mechanics and properties of matter with differential calculus, and
electricity, magnetism, and atomic structure with integral
calculus. The second semester of the sophomore year is devoted to
heat, sound, and light. In the new plan, as in the previous plan,
one creditis for laboratory work. The new plan allots fifty per
cent more time for lectures on electricity, magnetism, and atomic
structure. The textbook has been revised and enlarged to meet these
requirements. Since it has been written on a somewhat higher level
than the conventional one-year, eight-semester-hour courses
conventionally given in colleges and since it freely uses the
calculus, it is possible that this textbook can and will be used in
more advanced courses at colleges giving the single
eight-semester-hour course in basic physics.. In view of the demand
for this book for such purposes, there has been included a
considerable amount of additional material, comprising such topics
as electromagnetic theory and the solution of the wave equation as
well as a more comprehensive study of the fundamentals of
electronics. A brief historical outline replaces the historical
survey to which a major portion of the first part of the text was
devoted in previous editions. This has provided space for the major
change, which is in the section on atomic structure, including
conduction in gases, now vii viii PREFACE extended to give a
knowledge of the fundamental principles of atomic behavior and
organization. Besides this major change some new material resulting
from recent advances has been added. This mate rial includes the
presentation of the ferromagnetic phenomena from the viewpoint of
the theory of domains, extensions of the chapters on resistance,
ionic conduction and its relation to atomic structure,
thermoelectric effects, dielectric effects, paramagnctism and ferro
magnetism, and the modern methods for measurement of magnetic
fields and flux. In addition, there are sections dealing with
theelectrical principles underlying the achievement of high-energy
elec trical particles, including devices such as the betatron,
synchrotron, synchrocyclotron, and linear accelerator as well as
sections dealing with the principles of ultra-high-frequency
generating devices such as the magnetron and Klystron. The revision
adds some seventy new or improved figures...
