Errata for Electromagnetism
Here are a list of typos that I know about:
Preface
- Page 1, first paragraph (yeah, not a good start): "is force" -> "is the force"
Chapter 1
- Page 56, last line: "chose" -> "choose"
Chapter 2
- Page 78, top line: "rise a" -> "rise to a". Third paragraph "allow for presence" -> "allow for the presence"
- Page 103: "van der Graaf" -> "Van der Graaf"
Chapter 4
- Page 128, Figure 4.2: The right-hand rule means that the electric and magnetic fields should be flipped.
Chapter 7
- Page 249, below (7.57): "that oscillating" -> "the oscillating"
- Page 250: The hairy ball theorem only requires that the vector field vanishes at a single point. The symmetry of the problem means that it must vanish at two or more points.
- Page 250, below (7.61): "which denoted" -> "which is denoted"
- Page 253: Remove subscript A on the integrals.
- Page 270, above (7.157): "This means, that" -> "This means that"
Chapter 8
- Page 278, below (8.8): "natural interpretation" -> "natural interpretations"
- Page 288, equation (8.48): It should really be kx-\omega t, rather than kx+\omega t in the exponents, but this doesn't change what follows.
- Page 303, section on Transparent Propagation: "ocurs" -> "occurs"
- Page 308, below (8.126): "an segment" -> "a segment"
- Page 333, below (8.229): "at near" -> "near"
Appendix C
- Page 416: In equation (C.31), the partial differential of Q should be with respect to x on the right-hand side of the first line, and the integral should be with respect to y in the second line, with integrand Q(a,y) and Q(0,y).
My thanks to Cory Fletcher for pointing many of these out.
