Classical Charged Particles

This book is a text for the study of the classical (i.e. nonquantum) theory of charged particles. The a pplication of the theory is well known in electron optics, particle accelerators, radiation from electron beams, and other fields. But the fundamentals of it are usually hidden in a cloud of uncertainty and confusion. In view of the importance of its applications, such a situation is highly unsatisfactory. The text is designed to teach primarily these fundamental aspects of the theory, while applications are restricted to the illustrations of points of principle....The interested reader will soon find that this is an unusual book in several respects. It cuts across many disciplines of theoretical physics which are ordinarily neatly separated and treated in different books: classical mechanics, electrodynamics, special relativity and general relativity, not to mention a little history and philosophy. It is unusual also in that it deals with elementary notions from an advanced point of view and with deeper questions usually left for ”high-brow” treatments.

Classical Charged Particles (Third Edition)

By: Fritz Rohrlich

Originally written in 1964, this famous text is a study of the classical theory of charged particles. Many applications treat electrons as point particles. At the same time, there is a widespread belief that the theory of point particles is beset with various difficulties such as an infinite electrostatic self-energy, a rather doubtful equation of motion which admits physically meaningless solutions, violation of causality and others. The classical theory of charged particles has been largely ignored and has been left in an incomplete state since the discovery of quantum mechanics. Despite the great efforts of men such as Lorentz, Abraham, Poincaré, and Dirac, it is usually regarded as a “lost cause”. But thanks to progress made just a few years ago, the author is able to resolve the various problems and to complete this unfinished theory successfully.

Classical Charged Particles

By: Fritz Rohrlich

Widely-discussed in the theory of classical point charges are the difficulties of divergent self-energy, self-accelerating solutions, and pre-acceleration. This book explains the theory in the context of quantum electrodynamics, the neutral particle limit, and coherence with neighboring theories.

From Paradox to Reality

Our Basic Concepts of the Physical World

By: Fritz Rohrlich

This book discusses, in clear non technical language, the two major theories of twentieth-century physics: relativity and quantum mechanics. They are discussed conceptually and philosophically, rather than using mathematics, and the philosophical issues raised pertain to much of science, not only physics. The book is based on successful courses taught by the author, who shows how new discoveries forced physicists to accept often strange and unconventional notions. He aims to remove the mystery and misrepresentation that often surround the ideas of modern physics and to show how modern scientists construct theories. In this way, the reader can appreciate their successes and failures and understand problems which are as yet unsolved.
