  • Summary

    If you walk 4 miles due north and then 3 miles due east (Fig. 1.1), you will have gone a total of 7 miles, but you’re not 7 miles from where you set out – only 5. We need an arithmetic to describe quantities like this, which evidently do not add in the ordinary way. The reason they don’t, of course, is that displacements (straight line segments going from one point to another) have direction as well as magnitude (length), and it is essential to take both into account when you combine them.

  • 4 - Electric Fields in Matter

  • David J. Griffiths, Reed College, Oregon
  • Book:
    Introduction to Electrodynamics
    Published online:
    06 October 2023
    Print publication:
    02 November 2023, pp 166-208

  • Summary

    In this chapter, we shall study electric fields in matter. Matter, of course, comes in many varieties – solids, liquids, gases, metals, woods, glasses – and these substances do not all respond in the same way to electrostatic fields. Nevertheless, most everyday objects belong (at least, in good approximation) to one of two large classes: conductors and insulators (or dielectrics).

  • 11 - Radiation

  • David J. Griffiths, Reed College, Oregon
  • Book:
    Introduction to Electrodynamics
    Published online:
    06 October 2023

    02 November 2023, pp 472-507

  • Summary

    When charges accelerate, their fields can transport energy irreversibly out to infinity – a process we call radiation.1 Let us assume the source is localized2 near the origin; we would like to calculate the energy it radiates at time t0. Imagine a gigantic sphere, out at radius r (Fig. 11.1).

  • Summary

    This chapter discusses whether and in what circumstances states can resort to the use of force

  • 11 - The Law of Armed Conflict

  • from Part II - The Substance of International Law
  • Jan Klabbers, University of Helsinki
  • Book:
    International Law

  • Summary

    This chapter discusses how states ought to behave in tiems of armed conflict, highlighting the role of such mechanisms as proportionality and military necessity
