The document "Classical Electricity and Magnetism" by Wolfgang K. H. Panofsky, published in 1951, is a comprehensive treatise on the fundamental principles of classical electrodynamics. The book is divided into several chapters, covering topics such as electrostatic fields, field singularities, boundary conditions, and the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic fields. It also delves into the solutions of potential problems, the behavior of currents, magnetic materials, and the Maxwell equations. The author emphasizes the derivation of Maxwell's equations from experimental laws and the classical treatment of electron theory, with a focus on the special theory of relativity. The book uses the rationalized MKS system of units and provides detailed mathematical derivations and explanations of physical concepts, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of electrodynamics.The document "Classical Electricity and Magnetism" by Wolfgang K.
