Klappentext Volume 1 of Maxwell's 1873 influential contribution to physics covers the first elements of his electromagnetic theory: electrostatics and electrokinematics. Zusammenfassung James Clerk Maxwell's influential contribution to nineteenth-century physics brought together all the experimental and theoretical advances in the field of electricity and magnetism known at the time. First published in 1873! it contains Maxwell's famous equations on electromagnetic theory. Volume 1 covers electrostatics and electrokinematics. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part I. Electrostatics: 1.
