[QUOTE="hutchphd, post: 6819869, member: 635497"] I like Maxwell's exposition. Of course because of his seminal position he had the luxury of using whatever words he desired. Halliday and Resnick [I]et al[/I] are in a slightly different positon. To teach classical EM fields without ever introducing the concept (and appellation) "test charge" would be negligent. There are many such constraints on the textbook author and physics professor and so the comparison is not really fair. Sometimes it is even important to teach bad physics as a cautionary tale (note I did not say teach physics badly!). [/QUOTE]
