The text presents several examples that demonstrate the solution of Maxwell's equations in diverse situations aiming to enhance the reader's understanding of the flow of energy and momentum as well as the distribution of force and torque throughout the matter-field systems under consideration.
This revised edition of Field Force Energy and Momentum in Classical Electrodynamics features revised chapters some of which include expanded discussions of fundamental concepts or alternative derivations of important formulas. The new edition also features three additional chapters covering Maxwell's equations in spherical coordinates (Chapter 10) the author's recent discussion (and streamlined proof) of the Optical Theorem (Chapter 13) and the fascinating connections between electromagnetism and Einstein's special theory of relativity (Chapter 15). A new appendix covers the SI system of units that has been used throughout the book.
The book is a useful textbook for physics majors studying classical electrodynamics. It also serves as a reference for industry professionals and academic faculty in the fields of optics and advanced electronics.
