Source for relativistic electrodynamics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for accessible resources on relativistic electrodynamics, specifically regarding electrodynamic momentum versus total momentum with relativistic corrections. Participants highlight that while classical texts on Maxwell's equations incorporate relativity, the focus here is on quantum electrodynamics. There is a call for modern discussions or texts that bridge these concepts effectively. The conversation emphasizes the complexity of integrating relativistic corrections into the understanding of electrodynamics. Overall, the thread seeks recommendations for readable materials that address these advanced topics.

Just reading Prof. Mead's book 'Collective Electrodynamics'

Does anyone know of a (readable) discussion of electrodynamic momentum vs. total momentum with a relativistic correction for velocity?

Relativity is built into Maxwell's equations. As long as you want classical rather than quantum electrodynamics, any modern text on Maxwell's equations should do.
 
No, I'm talking about quantum electrodynamics.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
