ELECTRODYNAMICS

OF MOVING BODIES

(electronic
textbook)

An
original version of electrodynamics of moving bodies, including the bases
of the classical EM theory – without technical problematics of its practical
application – is here systematically elaborated. Apart from the standard
analytical apparatus, the algebraic formal apparatus – mathematically
equivalent, and complementary in use – is here consistently arranged. The
methodical exposition is of the educational character, on university level. By a
long sequence of delicate improvements in sense of the text and the form of its
exposition, the entirely new EM theory has been obtained. Although more complete
and many-sided, it is considerably shorter, clearer and more convincing than the
standard textbooks.

The
exposition consists of the arranged sequence of eighteen plain thematic lessons,
written in the form of the papers, nearly mutually independent and without
explicit reliance on external sources. They are divided into the two groups – of
the basic and derived relations, thus playing the roles of the
lower and higher courses of the theory. The two additional relatively short
texts represent the introduction and mathematical appendix of the
theory. Due to convenience of its separate reading directly on the screen or
printing on paper sheets, the text is arranged in the pages and presented in PDF
format, two pages on a sheet. The author thanks in advance for any remarks or
suggestions concerning the contents and form of the text.
