Inhaltsangabe

This book explains why there are different variants of Maxwell's equations and the physical meaning of the quantities they contain. It also shows how the equations for static electric and magnetic potentials are derived from Maxwell's equations. Matter exposed to the field is an integral part of the discussion. Multipole developments are justified and derived. Furthermore, the potential for simplification in formulating dynamical theory as gauge field theory is explained. The laws of optics are derived from those of electrodynamics. Justifications are provided for quasi-stationary calculations, limits are formulated, and technical counterexamples are shown.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Martin Poppe received his doctorate in Physics from the University of Oxford in 1981. At DESY, he developed the formal foundations of matter generation from colliding virtual photons. The results were published and cited more than eighty times in thirty years. After working at CERN and Bosch, he joined Muenster University of Applied Sciences, where he taught electrical and electronic engineering. He is (co-) author of several textbooks, including "Springer Handbook of Mechanical Engineering".
