Classical Electrodynamics: A Modern Perspective

By Rebecca Williams

Classical electromagnetism is a branch of theoretical physics that investigates the interaction between currents and electric charges. It extends the classical Newtonian model and offers a description of electromagnetic phenomena at relatively large length scales and field strengths. Key concepts in this area include Li nard-Wiechert potentials and Jefimenko's equations. The classical electromagnetic effect of a moving electric point charge, described through the Li nard-Wiechert potential in terms of scalar and vector potentials in the Lorenz gauge, is a fundamental aspect of this field. Additionally, classical electromagnetism encompasses the study of electromagnetic waves, the Lorentz force, and the electric field. This book provides significant information of the discipline of classical electromagnetism to help develop a good understanding of the subject. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to classical electromagnetism. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this textbook.
