Electrodynamics: The Field-Free Approach : Electrostatics, Magnetism, Induction, Relativity and Field Theory : Springer : 9783319131702 : 3319131702 : 31 Mar 2015 : This book is intended as an undergraduate textbook in electrodynamics at basic or advanced level. The objective is to attain a general understanding of the electrodynamic theory and its basic experiments and phenomena in order to form a foundation for further studies in the engineering sciences as well as in modern quantum physics. The outline of the book is obtained from the following principles: ? Base the theory on the concept of force and mutual interaction ? Connect the theory to experiments and observations accessible to the student ? Treat the electric, magnetic and inductive phenomena cohesively with respect to force, energy, dipoles and material ? Present electrodynamics using the same principles as in the preceding mechanics course ? Aim at explaining that theory of re
