Maxwell's Field Equations 9. Dispersion and Scattering 10. Electromagnetic Waves 11. Wave-guides and Antennas 12. Principle of Relativity 13. Retarded Systems 14. Charged Particle in Fields 15. Plasma State 16. Waves in Fluid Plasma Appendices Bibliography Index One of the core subjects in Physics, Electrodynamics is taught to graduate and postgraduate students. In this book, MKS system has been adopted and tensor algebra is not used, so that the presentation of each topic is at the level of a common student. After explaining the fundamentals of Mathematics, it discusses the electrostatics, electrostatic field in dielectrics, energy in electrostatic fields, magnetostatics, electromagnetic induction, Maxwell's field equations, dispersion and scattering, electromagnetic waves, waveguides and antennas, retarded systems, principle of relativity, charged particle in fields, plasma state, and waves in fluid plasma. …
