Electricity and Magnetism is a standard textbook in electromagnetism originally written by Nobel laureate Edward Mills Purcell in 1963. [1] Along with David Griffiths ' Introduction to Electrodynamics , this book is one of the most widely adopted undergraduate textbooks in electromagnetism . [ 2 ]
Cover of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. Electricity and magnetism were originally considered to be two separate forces. This view changed with the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's 1873 A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism [6] in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be mediated by one force ...
The second of Maxwell's equations is known as Gauss's law for magnetism and, similarly to the first Gauss's law, it describes flux, but instead of electric flux, it describes magnetic flux. According to Gauss's law for magnetism, the flow of magnetic field through a closed surface is always zero.
Introduction to Electrodynamics is a textbook by physicist David J. Griffiths.Generally regarded as a standard undergraduate text on the subject, [1] it began as lecture notes that have been perfected over time. [2]

Volume 2, Electricity and Magnetism, by Purcell (Harvard), is particularly well known, and was influential for its use of relativity in the presentation of the subject at the introductory college level. Half a century later the book is still in print, in an updated version by authors Purcell and Morin.
Ørsted investigated and found the physical law describing the magnetic field, now known as Ørsted's law. Ørsted's discovery was the first connection found between electricity and magnetism, and the first of two laws that link the two; the other is Faraday's law of induction.
