About The Book

Electromagnetism, Electrodynamics, and Radiation Theory by Amal Kumar Raychaudhuri is a comprehensive textbook that delves into advanced topics in electromagnetism and electrodynamics, aimed primarily at graduate students in physics. Published by Springer in 2022, this first edition addresses both fundamental concepts and more specialized topics such as magnetohydrodynamics, plasma oscillations, and the special theory of relativity, with a clear focus on the Lorentz covariance of Maxwell's equations.

The text is structured to cover not only the standard subjects typically found in electromagnetism and electrodynamics courses but also to introduce less commonly explored areas like radiation reaction, which is presented at an elementary level, making it accessible to students who may not have encountered the topic before. A brief treatment of the Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory is also included, offering insights into modern approaches to radiation theory.

With 300 pages of content, this book provides a balanced and clear treatment of electricity and magnetism, making it an essential resource for both graduate and advanced undergraduate students. The book's clarity, combined with its thorough exploration of classical and modern topics, makes it a valuable guide for students aiming to deepen their understanding of electromagnetism and related fields.
