Description:

The second volume of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism contains the continuation of an important research conducted in physics as a science. It focuses on the theory of electromagnetism developed and improved by Maxwell as well as general positions of field theory. Though being written more than a century ago, the book is a wonderful reference for students and their teachers as the author possessed great knowledge in this part of physics. Besides, the book is not very complicated, it is created with the usage of pretty simple vocabulary so it is quite easy to understand. Not without reason A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism is believed to be a real masterpiece among other works devoted to physics.
