Good exercises book for relativistic electrodynamics

In summary, the conversation is about someone looking for a good exercise book or lecture notes on relativistic electrodynamics, preferably with solved problems of increasing difficulty. One person recommends the book "Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur" and mentions that it recommends another book, "Problem book in quantum field theory" by V Radovanovic, which contains solved problems. However, the person is not familiar with the recommended book.

Hi everyone.
As the title says, I am looking for a good exercise book covering the topic of relativistic electrodynamics since the beginning. Even lecture notes from some universities would be great given that solved problems of increasing difficulty are provided.
Do you know some book of this kind?

The 'Further Reading' section of Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur by Lancaster and Blundell recommends V Radovanovic, Problem book in quantum field theory 2nd Edition, Springer, Berlin (2008) 'for those eager to practise, as it contains a useful set of solved problems.' I am not familiar with Radovanovic myself, however.
 

1. What is the best book for learning relativistic electrodynamics?

The best book for learning relativistic electrodynamics is subjective and depends on the individual's learning style. However, some popular and highly recommended books on this topic include "Introduction to Electrodynamics" by David J. Griffiths and "Classical Electrodynamics" by John David Jackson.

2. What background knowledge is required to understand relativistic electrodynamics?

A strong foundation in classical electrodynamics and special relativity is essential for understanding relativistic electrodynamics. Familiarity with vector calculus, differential equations, and advanced mathematics is also helpful.

3. How can I improve my understanding of relativistic electrodynamics through exercises?

Practice is key to understanding any subject, and this is especially true for relativistic electrodynamics. Look for exercises that cover a variety of concepts and difficulty levels. Also, try to solve problems both analytically and numerically to gain a deeper understanding of the principles.

4. Can you recommend any online resources for exercises on relativistic electrodynamics?

Yes, there are many online resources that offer exercises and problems on relativistic electrodynamics. Some popular ones include MIT OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and Physics Forums. You can also find practice problems in textbooks or lecture notes available online.

5. How can I apply my knowledge of relativistic electrodynamics to real-world problems?

Relativistic electrodynamics has many practical applications, such as in particle accelerators, plasma physics, and astrophysics. To apply your knowledge, you can look for research opportunities or internships in these fields. You can also try solving problems related to these applications to gain a better understanding of their real-world significance.
