Electrostatics: Formalism of the electrostatic field in vacuum and matter

This book is derived from modules forming a full course in electricity and magnetism (E&M) as given by the authors. The book starts with the definition of the electrisation state, describing both the electrisation state of charged and polarized bodies, respectively, and goes on to discuss how the electric field develops in conductors to electrostatic equilibrium, as well as in insulating materials especially in dielectrics. This book is suitable for students taking a general E&M course or t...
