PHYSICS FOR EVERYONE - BOOK 3
ELECTRONS

The fourth Russian of Physics for Everyone by L. Landau and A. Kitaigorodsky was published in 1978 as two separate books: Physical Bodies (Book l) and Molecules (Book 2). They were published in English in 1979. This is the first publication of Book 3 of this series. It is called Electrons and was written by A. Kitaigorodsky as a sequel to Physics for Everyone.

This book deals with physical phenomena in which our attention is focussed on the next level in the structure of matter - the electrical structure of atoms and molecules. Electrical and radio engineering, without which the existence of today's civilization is inconceivable, are based on the laws governing the motion and interaction of electrical particles, primarily electrons, the quanta of electricity.

The main subjects of this book are electric current, magnetism and electromagnetic fields.
