Additional Errata for Classical Electrodynamics, 2nd Ed
Page 95: The page heading should read "3-3 Laplace's Equation in Cylindrical Coordinates"
Page 139: Problem 9, 40Υ should be 40°.
Page 216: Problem 10, cosθ should be coshθ in equation for x'.
μ
Page 244: Sentence after (88) should end in ∂∕∂x not ∂∕∂xμ.
Page 253: There should be no Hint on Problem 24. It belongs with Problem 23, as printed.
Page 301: Before (59) the end of the sentence should be "... coefficients A_l" inot "A_1".
Page 261: In the calculation in between (25) and (26) put mc in the numerator, not mc2, because you are taking the
derivative of momentum, not energy. The result carries through with no problem, though.
Page 331: In Equation (8), the left hand side should be a large caligraphic "E" instead of ε.
Page 344: The limits of integration should be d/(R2+d2)1/2 to 1, instead of 0 to d/(R2+d2)1/2. This gives a different answer
for the eventual result for M21 at the bottom of the page. The leading term should contain the factor R4 instead of R2d2.
(This replacement reduces to the correct limit of the solution of Problem 10.19.)
Page 368: Exercise 2 should read "Check Fy and Fx"
Page 379: Insert μ in the first line following equation (49), in the space between "constant" and "is called." (Note: Many
authors, for example Jackson, refer to this constant as the "permeability" as opposed to the "magnetic permittivity.")
Page 384: The quantities on the left of (62) should be magnitudes H instead of vectors H.
Page 395: Problem 19, insert μ after "permittivity."
Page 413, 415: The headings refer to Section 12-5, but the material covered in Section 12-4.
Page 480: Problem 17(b), "Find the value of dP/dΩ..."
Page 482: Problem 22(c). "What is the minimum angle at which..."
Page 489: The integrand in the equation just above Figure 14.3 should be multiplied by sinθ.
Page 601: (Problem 12 in Chapter 6.) The answer should be 122 hours, not 1.22.
Page 603: (Problem 4 in Chapter 10.) The correct answer is B=cRQ/2AN.
Page 606 (Problem 14 in Chapter 14.) I find, for the (time independent!) radiated power (2/3c2)(Q/2Mc)6S2B04sin2(θ) but
my solution is rather different than what is in the instructors manual.
