Introduction to Electricity and Optics

THIS book has been written as a text–book for second–year students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “The goal to which it aspires is a compact logical exposition of the fundamental laws of the electric and magnetic fields and the elementary applications of these laws to circuits, to a study of the electrical and magnetic properties of matter, and to the field of optics.” A slight acquaintance with the calculus and a knowledge of elementary physics is assumed on the part of the student.Introduction to Electricity and OpticsBy Prof. Nathaniel H.
