Excerpt from Electricity and Magnetism for Engineers, Vol. 1: Electric and Magnetic Circuits In the following pages is given, from an engineering point of view, (1) a description of the more important effects commonly described as electric and magnetic phenomena, (2) a statement of the fundamental laws in accord with which these phenomena have been found to occur, and (3) the appli0cation of these laws to some of the simpler problems which arise in connection with the generation, transmission and utilization of electric energy. Particular emphasis is laid upon exact quantitative statements of the fundamental laws or principles. Both safety and economy demand that the engineer be able to answer not only "how," but also "how much." To this end, the student of engineering should be taught to analyze, not only qualitatively, but also quantitatively, each problem which may be presented to him. Most of the simpler formulas used by scientists and engineers are special cases of certain general relations, and these special formulas are applicable only under certain specific conditions. One of the most common causes of confusion on the part of the beginner arises from his attempt to apply such special formulas to cases to which they are not applicable. This is due in part to the failure in many text-books to state the limitations of such formulas. Particular care is therefore taken in these pages to state specifically the exact conditions under which each formula is applicable. The procedure adopted throughout the book is to pass from simple phenomena, known to practically every school-boy, to the more complex phenomena and principles with which the engineer has to deal. For convenience the book has been divided into two parts. Part I deals with the electric and the magnetic circuits, and Part II with electrostatics and alternating currents. Each part of the book can readily be covered in four hours of classroom work per week for a term. Part I may be looked upon as an introduction to the study of direct-current machinery, and Part II as an introduction to the study of alternating-current machinery.

This book is a very comprehensive textbook covering in great depth all the electricity and magnetism. The 2nd edition includes new and revised figures and exercises in many of the chapters, and the number of problems and exercises for the student is increased. In the 1st edition, emphasis much was made of superconductivity, and this methodology will be continued in the new edition by strengthening of the E-B analogy. Many of the new exercises and problems are associated with the E-B analogy, which enables those teaching from the book to select suitable teaching methods depending on the student’s ability and courses taken, whether physics, astrophysics, or engineering. Changes in the chapters include a detailed discussion of the equivector-potential surface and its correspondence between electricity and magnetism. The shortcomings of using the magnetic scalar potential are also explained. The zero resistivity in a magnetic material showing perfect diamagnetism can be easily proved. This textbook is an ideal text for students, who are competent in calculus and are taking physics, astrophysics, or engineering at degree level. It is also useful as a reference book for the professional scientist.
