Understanding the Electromagnetic Field is a comprehensive textbook designed for advanced graduate students who wish to delve into the intricate realm of the electromagnetic field. This book explores the profound relationship between the field and electric charges, providing a foundational understanding for students embarking on this specialized field of study.
The earlier chapters of the book focus on deriving Maxwell's equations from experimental laws, laying the theoretical groundwork for subsequent chapters. The electromagnetic field is then examined in the context of special relativity, leading logically to the development of the quantum theory of radiation. Quantum mechanics is introduced as a quantum field theory of the electromagnetic field, offering a deeper understanding of its fundamental principles.
The rules of quantum mechanics are systematically developed throughout the book, with relativistic quantum electrodynamics providing explanations for some puzzles that arise in classical electrodynamics. A dedicated chapter is devoted to studying angular momentum in quantum mechanics, highlighting its crucial role in understanding the interplay between the field and charges.
The geometry of the space in which the electromagnetic field is embedded is revealed to be of significant importance. General relativity establishes a relationship between the geometry of space and the presence of matter, providing a holistic perspective on the field. The final chapter is dedicated to deriving the fundamental equations of general relativity, mathematical expressions are derived for the effect of gravity on the electromagnetic field, and measurable results are calculated.
To fully grasp the concepts presented in this book, students are required to have a solid foundation in Newtonian physics, calculus, and linear algebra. Throughout the text, numerous exercises are provided to reinforce the understanding and application of the material.
Understanding the Electromagnetic Field serves as an essential resource for graduate students seeking to advance their knowledge in the field of electromagnetism and its applications. With its comprehensive coverage, rigorous analysis, and practical exercises, this textbook equips students with the tools they need to excel in their academic and research pursuits.
