How to become a
GOOD Theoretical Physicist

Electromagnetism

Maxwell’s Theory for electromagnetism:

• Homogeneous and inhomogeneous
• Maxwell’s laws in a medium. Boundaries. Solving the equations in:
    Vacumm and homogeneous medium (electromagnetic waves)
    In a box (wave guides)
    At boundaries (fraction and reflection)

• The vector potential and gauge invariance (extremely important)
• Emission and absorption on EM waves (antenna)
• Light scattering against objects
• Electromagnetism by James Sparks
• Notes on Classical Electromagnetism by R. Fritzpatrick
• Bo Thide’s EM Field theory text(advanced)
• Worked out exercises from Jackson’s book: Selection 1 / Selection 2
