    there's not much to it. you can get a book and learn it overnight. :uhh: all you need are Maxwell's Equations (there are only four of them) and you have a complete description of E&M.

    :bugeye:

    I've been studying e/m radiation in various contexts for nearly ten years and I am still learning.

    RBJ, I hope you're not including QED in this remark.

    Ah, if only I known that when I started.

    Gelf, get a book. Even R B-J can't explain everything about E&M in this thread.
