Electromagnetism - DAMTP
www.damtp.cam.ac.ukAt the atomic scale, electromagnetism (admittedly in conjunction with some basic quantum e ects) governs the interactions between atoms and molecules. It is the force that underlies the periodic table of elements, giving rise to all of chemistry and, through this, much of biology. It is the force which binds atoms together into solids and liquids.

Solved Problems in Classical Mechanics
irp-cdn.multiscreensite.comThe goal of classical mechanics is to provide a quantitative description of the motion of physical objects. Like any physical theory, mechanics is a blend of definitions and postulates. In describing this theory it is convenient to first introduce the concept of a point object (a particle) and to start by considering the motion of a single ...

muellergroup.lassp.cornell.eduThis is a vector which is analogous to the vector potential in electromagnetism. UnlikeΦ, the vector A is gauge dependent. An interesting way to write Eq.
