Hi,

May you please asdvise me where in Peskin Schroeder it is described how to derive 1/r potential for electrodynamics... (I mean from quantum field point of view)


Thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
chapter 4 or 5 i think...
 
You could also consult the first chapter of Zee about this, which is very well written!
 
I second the Zee recommandation. It has other valuable inputs as well. It's a great book to have in a library, right next to the Landau & Lifschitz collection.
