Volume 1 of Maxwells 1873 influential contribution to physics covers the first elements of his electromagnetic theory: electrostatics and electrokinematics.James Clerk Maxwells influential contribution to nineteenthcentury 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 Maxwells famous equations on electromagnetic theory.

First published in 1873 it contains Maxwells famous equations on electromagnetic theory. Volume 1 covers electrostatics and electrokinematics.Arguably the most influential nineteenthcentury scientist for twentiethcentury physics James Clerk Maxwell (18311879) demonstrated that electricity magnetism and light are all manifestations of the same phenomenon: the electromagnetic field. A fellow of Trinity College Cambridge Maxwell became in 1871 the first Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge. His famous equations a set of four partial differential equations that relate the electric and magnetic fields to their sources charge density and current density first appeared in fully developed form in his 1873 Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. This twovolume textbook brought together all the experimental and theoretical advances in the field of electricity and magnetism known at the time and provided a methodical and graduated introduction to electromagnetism. Volume 1 covers the first elements of Maxwells electromagnetic theory: electrostatics and electrokinematics including detailed analyses of electrolysis conduction in three dimensions and conduction through heterogeneous media.Part I.
