The most widely used textbook on electrostatics available today. Based on the author's course at the University of Illinois. Detailed explanations of concepts, applications to numerous practical applications, problem sets, and a survey of dozens of application areas ranging from electronics to medicine. Every principle and technique is illustrated by an example drawn from current practice in commercial or laboratory work.
Explains, in engineering rather than mathematical terms, the application of electrostatic principles for designing practical devices. Each part concentrates on a single electrostatic concept with application to a particular device.
This book, now in its third printing, is organized by the scale of electrostatic effect. Part One deals with electrostatic fields in a uniform linear medium. Part Two introduces particles in the field. Part Three allows for a complex continuum. Part Four describes interactions between electrostatic devices and external circuits using terminal relations.
