ElectromagnetismElectromagnetism sets a new standard in physics education. Throughout the book, the theory is illustrated with real-life applications in modern technology. It also includes detailed work examples and step-by-step explanations to help readers develop their problem-solving strategies and skills and consolidate their understanding. In addition to a meticulous development of thse traditional, analytical mathematical approaches, readers are also introduced to a range of techniques required for solving problems using computers. Electromagnetism provides an ideal preparation for readers who plan advanced studies in electrodynamics as well as those moving into industry or engineering . |

... Gauss's Law implies that the normal component En of the electric field is con- tinuous across S unless there is a surface charge , in which case the discontinuity of En is o / e0 . To prove this statement , consider an ... Gauss's Law 57.
... Gauss's Law will give E for any spherically symmetric den- sity p ( r ) . For the cylindrical case , Gauss's Law will give E if the charge density depends only on the cylindrical radial coordinate r . If p varies with z , e.g. , for a ...
... Gauss's Law the charge on the wall must be 0 . This result , that E 0 inside the cavity , is ultimately a consequence of Coulomb's Law F x 1 / r2 , i.e. , that the force between charges varies inversely with the square of the distance ...
