![]() ![]() During his career he served as science advisor to Presidents Dwight D. In 1952 he shared the Nobel Prize for Physics for his independent discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance in liquids and in solids, an elegant and precise way of determining chemical structure and properties of materials which is widely used today. Purcell (1912–97) was the recipient of many awards for his scientific, educational and civic work. ![]() Solutions to the exercises are available for instructors at About the AuthorĮdward M. With worked examples, hundreds of illustrations, and nearly 600 end-of-chapter problems and exercises, this textbook is ideal for electricity and magnetism courses. Macroscopic phenomena are derived rigorously from the underlying microscopic physics. Mathematical concepts are introduced in parallel with the physics topics at hand, making the motivations clear. Taking a nontraditional approach, magnetism is derived as a relativistic effect. ![]() The textbook covers all the standard introductory topics, such as electrostatics, magnetism, circuits, electromagnetic waves, and electric and magnetic fields in matter. It features hundreds of new examples, problems, and figures, and contains discussions of real-life applications. The third edition has been brought up to date and is now in SI units. Purcell’s classic textbook has introduced students to the world of electricity and magnetism.
