Nevertheless, I am hoping that students who truly find this work useful will purchase either This is a collection of my answers to problems from a graduate course in electrodynamics. 12.3 Relativistic Electrodynamics 550 12.3.1 Magnetism as a Relativistic Phenomenon 550 12.3.2 How the Fields Transform 553 12.3.3 The Field Tensor 562 12.3.4 Electrodynamics in Tensor Notation 565 12.3.5 Relativistic Potentials 569 A Vector Calculus in Curvilinear Coordinates 575 A.1 Introduction 575 A.2 Notation 575 These typeset notes have been produced mainly for my own benefit but seem to be officially supported. (2) It follows from (1) and (2) that the acceleration is also the second derivative a= d2r dt2. to my parents . The main motivation for this work is that RT and QM appear to be incompatible with one another. John David Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics" (3rd ed., Wiley, ISBN 0-471-30932-X, with errata) is a rite of passage for graduate students.Those who pass enjoy forcing the same pain on the next generation. Solved Problems in Classical Mechanics v(t)= dr(t) dt, (1) and the acceleration a(t), which is the time rate of change of the velocity, a(t)= dv(t) dt. Imaginary dipoles Consider two point charges qand q0at a distance dfrom each other, and a plane perpen-dicular to the line through qand q0in a distance dfrom q. a) Show that, in order for the plane to be at constant potential, one must have q0= q and = 1=2. The recommend ed books for this course are discussed in the bibliography. 530.14'1--dc2l 2003047418. Introduction to Electrodynamics (solutions manual) - Griffiths In addition, a number of physically important cases and This book presents a new approach to Relativity Theory (RT) and Quantum Mechanics (QM). These problems are mainly from the book by Jackson [4], but appended are some practice problems. Electrodynamics. (3) Sometimes use is made of Newton’s notation, where a dot denotes differentiation with I. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 . In this way the text can be used by students all over the world, where each student can pay (or not) according to their means. Preface . My answers are by no means guaranteed to be perfect, but I hope they will provide the reader with a guideline to understand the problems. These notes are based on the course “Electrodynamics” given by Dr. M. J. Perr y in Cambridge in the Michælmas Term 1997. Electrodynamics Problem Set 3 ETH/Uni Zurich, FS14 Prof. N. Beisert 3.1.
