Here, from the basis of experiment, the authors first derive the Maxwell equations and special relativity. Introducing the mathematical framework of generalized tensors, the laws of mechanics, Lorentz force and the Maxwell equations are then cast in manifestly covariant form. This provides the basis for graduate study in field theory, high energy astrophysics, general relativity and quantum electrodynamics. As the title suggests, this book is “electrodynamics lite”. The journey through electrodynamics is kept as brief as possible, with minimal diversion into details, so that the elegance of the theory can be appreciated in a holistic way. It is written in an informal style and has few prerequisites; the derivation of the Maxwell equations and their consequences is dealt with in the first chapter. Chapter 2 is devoted to conservation equations in tensor formulation; here, Cartesian tensors are introduced. Special relativity and its consequences for electrodynamics are introduced in Chapter 3 and cast in four-vector form, and he | 出版日期 | Textbook 2021 | 关键词 | Brief Introduction Electrodynamics; Electrodynamics Light; Undergraduate Textbook Electrodynamics; Unde | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-66818-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-66818-1Series ISSN 2192-4791 Series E-ISSN 2192-4805 | issn_series | 2192-4791 | copyright | Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2021 |
