About this Item

Print on Demand. This book advances the mathematical theory of attraction by applying Maxwell's Theory of Light to the properties of magnetized bodies, electric currents, and dielectrics. The author presents in detail a chapter on Conjugate Functions omitted from the first volume and includes a chapter on Maxwell's Theory of Light to provide a foundation for understanding the electromagnetic properties of matter. The discussion of electromagnetism remains relevant today and forms the basis of much of our understanding of the fundamental forces of nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Explore the mathematical tools that model gravity, magnetism, and electric fields.

This volume surveys spherical and ellipsoidal harmonics and the potential theory that underpins attraction problems in physics and engineering. It blends theory with applications, helping readers see how complex shapes influence fields and forces.

This edition guides you through key topics with clear explanations and reference-style detail. You’ll encounter:

Spherical and ellipsoidal harmonics and their use in expansion of potentials
Magnetic and electric phenomena, including magnetized bodies and currents
Methods for transforming circuits to magnetic equivalents and analyzing energy
Foundational results like Thomson and Dirichlet’s theorem and related discussions

Ideal for students and professionals who work with potential theory, field computations, or theoretical mechanics, this book supports both learning and advanced study.
