Lectures on classical electrodynamics / Berthold-Georg Englert.

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New Jersey : World Scientific, c2014.Description: xvii, 239 p. : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9789814596930 (pbk. : alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 537.6 23 En58
Contents:
1. Maxwell's equations -- 2. Electromagnetic pulses -- 3. Lorentz transformation -- 4. 3+1 (dimensional notation) -- 5. Action, reaction/interaction -- 6. Retarded potentials -- 7. Radiation fields -- 8. Spectral properties of radiation -- 9. Time-dependent spectral distribution -- 10. Synchrotron radiation -- 11. Scattering -- 12. Diffraction -- Index.
Summary: These lecture notes cover classical electrodynamics at the level of advanced undergraduates or postgraduates. There is a strong emphasis on the general features of the electromagnetic field and, in particular, on the properties of electromagnetic radiation. It offers a comprehensive and detailed, as well as self-contained, account of material that can be covered in a one-semester course for students with a solid undergraduate knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism.
