AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of finding biographical information about Mr. IE Irodov, the author of a well-known problem book in physics. Participants express admiration for Irodov's compilation of problems, noting their inspirational quality, particularly for high school students. However, there is a consensus that these problems may not be suitable for undergraduate physics students, who might benefit more from materials that enhance mathematical skills and logical reasoning. Suggestions for alternative problem books that better suit undergraduates are requested. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for appropriate resources tailored to different educational levels.

I have been solving problems from the famous book, "IE Irodov" for couple of days..It was really a terrific job for Mr.Irodov to compile such a huge set of wonderful problems which are very much inspirational.
I want to know about Mr. IE Irodov.. I have tried wikipedia.org and google as well..but I didn't find any relevant topic for his personal history (biography)..
I will be happy if I get to know about this person from you..thanks in advance..

My opinion is that those class of problems is good for high school people but not for undergraduate physics students. I think they should solve problems that improve their mathematical abilities and problems that force them to think logically in physic’s subjects. physics's Olympiad problems might be sufficient.

Dear friend
You said that Irodov's book is not suitable for undergraduates , so could you be nice to recommend some more sutable problem books for me .
Thank :)

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...

Thread 'Recovering Hamilton's Equations from Poisson brackets'

Thread 'Recovering Hamilton's Equations from Poisson brackets'

The issue : Let me start by copying and pasting the relevant passage from the text, thanks to modern day methods of computing. The trouble is, in equation (4.79), it completely ignores the partial derivative of ##q_i## with respect to time, i.e. it puts ##\partial q_i/\partial t=0##. But ##q_i## is a dynamical variable of ##t##, or ##q_i(t)##. In the derivation of Hamilton's equations from the Hamiltonian, viz. ##H = p_i \dot q_i-L##, nowhere did we assume that ##\partial q_i/\partial...
