Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Explains, in engineering rather than mathematical terms, the application of electrostatic principles for designing practical devices. Each part concentrates on a single electrostatic concept with application to a particular device. This book, now in its third printing, is organized by the scale of electrostatic effect. Part One deals with electrostatic fields in a uniform linear medium. Part Two introduces particles in the field. Part Three allows for a complex continuum. Part Four describes interactions between electrostatic devices and external circuits using terminal relations. Providing a unified and comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals and applications of electrostatic effects, the author offers numerous examples, including copy machines, smoke detectors, high-speed printers, and electrofusion of living cells. The epilogue provides more industry applications, plus bibliography and review articles. This book would be of interest to the technical specialist, and applications engineer interested in developing products using electrostatic principles. In particular, this reference is essential for those in ESD protection, atomization, precipitation, ionization, and any application that charges and discharges particles.

From the Publisher
This reprint of the 1986 and 1991 edition is the most widely used textbook on electrostatics available today. Based on the author's course at the University of Illinois. Detailed explanations of concepts, applications to numerous practical applications, problem sets, and a survey of dozens of application areas ranging from electronics to medicine. Every principle and technique is illustrated by an example drawn from current practice in commercial or laboratory work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggest little book on Electrostatics, December 6, 2008
By M.F. "Reader" (Burlington, VT USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a great introduction to electrostatics. This book has a comprehensive overview of many practical electrostatic problems, theories, and everyday applications. It was a great read (first time I've ever said that about a text book).

I find myself reaching for this book to look up equations, and or applications rather than my bigger, thicker, more "comprehensive", more expensive text books. This text is simple enough to understand that students with pre-calculus math background can understand it, yet it provides enough detail that graduate level Electrical Engineering students use it as a reference.

This book is a great addition to any Electrical or Mechanical Engineer's library.
