Introductory Remarks
I assume that the student is already somewhat familiar with classical electrodynamics from an introductory
course. Therefore I start with plete set of equations and from this set I spezialize to various cases of
interest.
In this manuscript I will use Gian units instead of the SI-units. The connection between both systems and
the motivation for using G units will be given in the next section and in appendix A.
Formulae for vector algebra and vector analysis are given in appendix B. A warning to the reader: Sometimes
(, , - and exercise after ) he/she should insert the result by him/herself. He/She is re-
quested to perform the calculations by him/herself or should at least insert th
