Classical Electrodynamics, 3rd edition

A revision of the defining book covering the physics and classical mathematics necessary to understand electromagnetic fields in materials and at surfaces and interfaces. The third edition has been revised to address the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the past twenty years. New to This Edition \*SI units used in the first 10 chapters. Gaussian units are retained in the later chapters. \*Over 110 new problems. \*New sections on the principles of numerical techniques for electrostatics and magnetostatics, as well as some elementary problems. \*Faraday’s Law and quasi-static fields are now in Chapter 5 with magnetostatics, permitting a more logical discussion of energy and inductances. \*Discussion of radiation by charge-current sources, in both elementary and exact multipole forms, has been consolidated in Chapter 9. \*Applications to scattering and diffraction are now in Chapter 10. \*Two new sections in Chapter 8 discuss the principles of optical fibers and dielectric waveguides. \*The treatment of energy loss (Chapter 13) has been shortened and strengthened. \*The discussion of synchrotron radiation as a research tool in Chapter 14 has been augmented by a detailed section on the physics of wigglers and undulators for synchrotron light sources. \*New material in Chapter 16 on radiation reaction and models of classical charged particles.

A textbook for a two-semester beginning graduate course for students who have completed a standard undergraduate program for physics majors. Emphasizes the unity of electric and magnetic phenomena both in their physical basis and the mode of their mathematical description, develops and utilizes a number of tools in mathematical physics, and presents now material on the interaction of relativistic charged particles with electromagnetic fields and other areas. First published in 1962, and again in 1974; the third edition incorporates the slight drifts in emphasis and application the long-established subject has taken over the past couple of decades.

The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length. This third edition of the title addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the past twenty years. It covers all the basic and advanced topics in classical and semi-classical electrodynamics We begin our discussion of electrodynamics with the subject of electrostatics-phenomena involving time-independent distributions of charge and fields.
