These equations continue to occupy a central position in the modern physicist's view of the physical world. They are a magnificent summary of the fundamental advances in electricity and magnetism, and later inspired the theories of Lorentz on the electron and Einstein on relativity. Einstein himself has said that The formulation of these equations is the most important event in physics since Newton's time -- \u003ci\u003eThe Evolution of Physics\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003eVolume 2, Part III, Magnetism, develops a theory of magnetism through the study of solenoids and shells, magnetic induction, methods of observation, and terrestrial magnetism. Part IV, Electromagnetism, covers the mutual action of electric currents, the equations of motion of a connected system, Maxwell's dynamical theory of electromagnetism, the equations of the electromagnetic field, dimensions of electric units, parallel and circular currents, coils, and the electromagnetic theory of light and foundation of the theory of relativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Clerk Maxwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486606376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486606378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.39w x 1.07d","brand":"James Clerk Maxwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987326501119,"sku":"9780486606378","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06bf9de0-748d-4a28-bb73-13238fd20f63.jpg?v=1683288319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-treatise-on-electricity-and-james-clerk-maxwell-9780486606378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
