Description for Self-Force and Inertia
Hardback. Delving into the classical origins of modern particle theories, this overview presents the state-of-the-art in particle physics. This volume also acts as reminder of the many benefits of this classical understanding that are simply dropped in modern accounts of inertia. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 396 pages, 38 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDV; PHJ; PHP; PHU. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 23. Weight in Grams: 769.
Any student working with the celebrated Feynman Lectures will ?nd a chapter in it with the intriguing title Electromagnetic Mass [2, Chap. 28]. In a way, it looks rather out of date, and it would be easy to skate over it, or even just skip it. And yet all bound state particles we know of today have electromagnetic mass. It is just that we approach the question differently. Today we have multiplets of mesons or baryons, and we have colour symmetry, and broken ?avour symmetry, and we think about mass and energy through Hamiltonians. This book is an invitation to ...

Reviews for Self-Force and Inertia
From the reviews: “The reader is guided from basic concepts of electrodynamics, relativity and relativistic dynamics to consider simple models of rigid charge distributions and the problem of inertia. … This book is written very well and can be best recommended to any physicist contemplating on foundations of physics. Especially, it can be recommended to students after they have ... Read more
