: Unlike more abstract texts, this book follows a "lucid and student-friendly" logical development of the subject matter.

The study of electricity and magnetism is crucial in understanding many natural phenomena and technological applications. In this chapter, we will introduce the basic concepts of electric charge, electric field, electric potential, capacitance, and electric current.

For over three decades, undergraduate physics students, particularly those in India and other Asian countries, have relied on a trusted companion to navigate the complex world of electromagnetic theory. That companion is the .

The text is packed with solved problems. These are often directly lifted from past university examinations, making the book a practical tool for exam preparation rather than just a theoretical reference.
