Classical Electrodynamics (Classical Theoretical Physics) Book

The series of texts on Classical Theoretical Physics is based on the highly successful series of courses given by Walter Greiner at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Intended for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, the volumes in the series provide not only a complete survey of classical theoretical physics but also an enormous number of worked examples and probles to show students clearly how to apply the abstract principles to realistic problems. This volume covers: Electrostatics > fundamental concepts, fields, potentials, delta function > Gauss's law, fields from various configurations, electrostatic energies > Green's theorems, uniqueness of solutions, Greens's functions > multipole expansions and orthogonal polynomials Macrocopic Electrostatics > dielectric media, electrostatic forces and energy Magnetostatics > fundamental concepts, vector potential, magnetic moments > magnetic materials Electrodynamics > Faraday's law, Maxwell's equations > electric currents and induction > electromagnetic waves in vacuo and in matter > reflection, refraction, cavity resonators and waveguides > light waves > radiation from accelerated charges, Hertz's dipole radiation > covariant formulation of electrodynamics > relativistic and covariant Largrange formalismRead More
