Miller, Joseph Levine P. Miller, Joseph Levine pdf. Thiroux, Keith W. I have added some problems and examples and removed a few that were not effective. And I have included more references to the accessible literature particularly the American Journal of Physics. I realize, of course, that most readers will not have the time or inclination to consult these resources, but I think it is worthwhile anyway, if only to emphasize that electrodynamics, notwithstanding its venerable age, is very much alive, and intriguing new discoveries are being made all the time.
I hope that occasionally a problem will pique your curiosity, and you will be inspired to look up the reference—some of them are real gems. I realize that unwary readers are tempted to interpret r as r—it certainly makes the integrals easier! As in previous editions, I distinguish two kinds of problems. Some have a specific pedagogical purpose, and should be worked immediately after reading the section to which they pertain; these I have placed at the pertinent point within the chapter.
Longer problems, or those of a more general nature, will be found at the end of each chapter. When I teach the subject, I assign some of these, and work a few of them in class. Unusually challenging problems are flagged by an exclamation point!
Many readers have asked that the answers to problems be provided at the back of the book; unfortunately, just as many are strenuously opposed.
I have compromised, supplying answers when this seems particularly appropriate. A complete solution manual is available to instructors from the publisher; go to the Pearson web site to order a copy. I have benefitted from the comments of many colleagues. Practically everything I know about electrodynamics—certainly about teaching electrodynamics—I owe to. For objects that are both very fast and very small as is common in modern particle physics , a mechanics that combines relativity and quantum principles is in order; this relativistic quantum mechanics is known as quantum field theory—it was worked out in the thirties and forties, but even today it cannot claim to be a completely satisfactory system.
In this book, save for the last chapter, we shall work exclusively in the domain of classical mechanics, although electrodynamics extends with unique simplicity to the other three realms. In fact, the theory is in most respects automat ically consistent with special relativity, for which it was, historically, the main stimulus.
Four Kinds of Forces Mechanics tells us how a system will behave when subjected to a given force. There are just four basic forces known presently to physics: I list them in the order of decreasing strength:.
The brevity of this list may surprise you. Where is friction? Where are the chemical forces that bind molecules together? Where is the force of impact between two colliding billiard balls?
The answer is that all these forces are electromagnetic. Indeed, it is scarcely an exaggeration to say that we live in an electromagnetic world— virtually every force we experience in everyday life, with the exception of gravity, is electromagnetic in origin. The weak forces, which account for certain kinds of radioactive decay, are also of short range, and they are far weaker than electromagnetic forces. As for gravity, it is so pitifully feeble compared to all of the others that it is only by virtue of huge mass con centrations like the earth and the sun that we ever notice it at all.
