Few would argue the point of view that
the theory of Electrodynamics, which emerged
in its full glory during the time when the American Civil War was
being fought, stands as a crowning acheivement of classical physics.
Virtually everything we experience in our day-to-day lives (the
sole exception being the ubiquitous pull of gravity) is accountable
to the electromagnetic force. The theory of electrodynamics,
through Maxwell's Equations, provides nothing short of a precise
and complete description of the physics underlying the full
range of macroscopic eletromagnetic phenomena.
Physics 110A presents a comprehensive exploration of the
`static' aspects of electromagnetic theory, laying the basis
for the discussion of electrodynamics and the full presentation
of Maxwell's Equations early in the following quarter's 110B
class.
