Electromagnetism coupled with continuum mechanics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding textbooks that provide a self-consistent treatment of classical electromagnetism coupled with continuum mechanics. Landau and Lifgarbagez is recommended as one of the best resources, particularly for its volume on kinetics, which covers classical and quantum transport theory. Additional resources mentioned include specific chapters and books that delve into electrodynamics and moving media. The conversation emphasizes the importance of comprehensive texts that solve field equations alongside matter fields. Overall, these recommendations aim to support a deeper understanding of the interplay between electromagnetism and continuum mechanics.

Are there any textbooks on something like this, a self consistent treatment of classical electromagnetism (relavistic is fine too) where the field equations are solved alongside with the matter fields.

Landau Lifgarbagez .
 
Yeah, it's the best to use Landau Lifgarbagez. One of the very best treatments of classical and quantum transport theory is vol. X (Kinetics). There is a lot about em. plasmas!
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
