Features: This book, the second edition, was adapted from the lecture notes on electromagnetism used by Zhao Kaizhao and Chen Ximou at the Department of Physics, Peking University. It was revised according to the textbook compilation outline established by the National Conference on Physics Textbooks for Higher Education in Science 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 aligns closely with its requirements. The second edition has been appropriately revised and supplemented based on five years of use and actual teaching development. The hardcover edition is a single volume, while the paperback edition is published in two volumes. The 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 full content includes: electrostatic field, conductors and dielectrics in electrostatic fields, steady currents, steady magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction and transient processes, magnetic media, alternating current, Maxwell's electromagnetic theory and electromagnetic waves, and the unit system of electromagnetism. This book can serve as a textbook for the electromagnetism course in physics majors at higher education institutions, as well as a reference for teachers and students in other relevant fields.
