This advanced textbook covers many fundamental, traditional and new branches of electrodynamics, as well as the related fields of special relativity, quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.The book introduces the material at different levels, oriented towards 3rd-4th year bachelor, master, and PhD students. This is so as to describe the whole complexity of physical phenomena, instead of a mosaic of disconnected data. The required mathematical background is c...

Modern electrodynamics in different media is a wide branch of electrodynamics which combines the exact theory of electromagnetic fields in the presence of electric charges and currents with statistical description of these fields in gases, plasmas, liquids and solids; dielectrics, conductors and superconductors. It is widely used in physics and in other natural sciences (such as astrophysics and geophysics, biophysics, ecology and evolution of terrestrial climate), and in various technolog...

Perfekt zur Vorbereitung auf Klausuren und Prüfungen: Die „Aufgabensammlung Elektrodynamik” enthält mehr als 800 Aufgaben zur klassischen Elektrodynamik und mehr als 200 Aufgaben zu deren speziell-relativistischen Aspekten mit ausführlichen Lösungen. Die Aufgabensammlung ist unabhängig von einem speziellen Lehrbuch nutzbar, denn jedes Kapitel beginnt mit einer kurzen Einführung ins jeweilige Teilgebiet der Elektrodynamik. Sämtliche Aufgaben und Lösungen sind konsequent im SI-Syste...

This book presents the fundamental concepts of the theory, illustrated by numerous examples of astrophysical applications. Classical concepts are combined with new developments and the authors demarcate what is well established and what is still under debate. To book illustrates how apparently complicated phenomena can be addressed and understood using well-known physical principles and equations within appropriate approximations and simplifications. For this purpose, a number of astrophys...
