Features: This book is adapted from the Electromagnetism lecture notes used by Zhao Kaizhao and Chen Ximou at the Department of Physics, Peking University, based on the textbook compilation outline established by the National Higher Education Physics Textbook Conference in October 1977. In August 1980, the Ministry of Education issued the "Teaching Syllabus for General Physics (Electromagnetism) for Comprehensive Universities (Four-Year Program)," and the content of this book is largely consistent with the requirements of that syllabus. The second edition has been appropriately revised and supplemented based on five years of use and the actual development of teaching. The hardcover edition is a single volume, while the paperback edition is published in two volumes. This book systematically elaborates on the fundamental laws and concepts of electromagnetic phenomena, with rich content and a collection of numerous thought questions and exercises. The book covers the following topics: Electrostatic Field, Conductors and Dielectrics in Electrostatic Fields, Steady Current, Steady Magnetic Field, Electromagnetic Induction and Transient Processes, Magnetic Media, Alternating Current, Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory and Electromagnetic Waves, and Systems of Units in Electromagnetism. This book can serve as a textbook for the Electromagnetism course in physics programs at universities and colleges, and can also be referenced by teachers and students from other disciplines.
