It contains nearly nine hundred problems, including more than two hundred on the special theory of relativity and about seventy on vector and tensor analysis, As compared with the first edition, several new problems have been included, as well as new sections on superconductivity, coherence and interference, and x-ray diffraction, and a new chapter on plasma physics This edition also contains a few problems taken from Oxford University examination papers; 1 would like to thank Oxford University Press for permission to use them, Let me finally mention that the second Russian edition was dedicated to the memory of Professor I M Shmushkevich. Oxford, October 1977 D ter Haar Preface to the first Russian edition This book contains about 750 problems on classical electrodynamics and its more important applications, including over 150 problems on the special theory of relativity, and about 70 problems on vector and tensor analysis In addition to problems illustrating fundamental concepts and laws of electrodynamics, which can be solved by purely mathematical methods, the collection includes a large number of more complicated problems (these are indicated by asterisks). Some of the solutions involve a considerable amount of effort, while others are purely theoretical in nature and follow from a lecture course on electrodynamics (propagation of waves in anisotropic and gyrotropic media, motion of charged particles in the electromagnetic field, representation of the electromagnetic field by a set of oscillators, and so on). Finally, there are problems which are concerned with topics which are not well covered by existing texts, for example, interaction of charged particles with matter (Chapter 13), applications of conservation laws to the analysis of collision processes and particle disintegration (Chapter 11), ferromagnetic resonance (Chapter 6), and so on. The second part of the book gives answers and solutions to a large number of these problems. Each section is prefaced by a short theoretical introduction in which the necessary formulae are given. These short introductions do not pretend to be complete; more extensive treatments will be found in the books listed in the bibliography.Preface The mathematical appendices review the basic properties of the 6-function and the cylindrical and spherical functions, which are necessary for the solution of the problems. The present collection is based on lectures given in the Departments of Electronics and Physics and Mechanics of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, A large number of the problems were set to third and fourth year students, In compiling this collection we have made frequent use of the well- known texts of L.D.Landau and E.M.Lifshits, LE.Tamm, Ya.1.Frenkel’, M.Abraham, and R.Becker, W.R.Smythe, J.A.Stratton, and others. A large number of monographs, review papers, and original papers were also consulted. V.Batygin, LToptyginContents Preface 1 Vector and tensor calculus 4, Vector and tensor algebra.
