Electromagnetism

Classical electrodynamics is the study of a new field, or force that is more complicated than gravitational force because there are now attractive and repulsive central forces.

Here are a few of the more fundamental problems in classical Electrodynamics:
  1. Electrostatic properties - 1 charge solution
  2. Electrostatic discharge - Lightning
  3. Bound current - Permanent magnetic field in Iron
  4. Free current - Displacement current through a capacitor
  5. Lorentz force - Solar wind trajectory from Earth's fields
  6. Larmor formula - Power output from giant radio transmitter
  7. Leinerd-Wiechert potential - Relativisitc effects from speed of field
  8. Abraham-Lorentz force - Charges affecting themselves
  9. Electromagnetic waves - Polarization of natural light
  10. Wave guides - Fiberoptic cable bent too far
