- Understanding electrodynamics is crucial for explaining phenomena like electromagnetic waves.
And then I guess that was then the bedrock on which Feynman and Schwinger and Tom and Arga built quantum electrodynamics, which is the first kind of complete quantum field theory.
- And then I guess that was then the bedrock on which Feynman and Schwinger and Tom and Arga built quantum electrodynamics, which is the first kind of complete quantum field theory.
- And another thing that's beautiful about it is that it's kind of in the same family as electrodynamics.
Examples
-
He could one day work on quantum electrodynamics, which, you know, is this theory of the subatomic world and and light.
-
So he's saying that you can't use classical electrodynamics down to subatomic dimensions.
-
And then in June, he wrote a paper named Electrodynamics of moving bodies.
-
So you see now we're not really doing electrodynamics at the moment.
-
In classical electrodynamics, yeah, but it's a conserved.
-
Published a version of his famous equation in 1905 in a seminal research paper titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies."
Academic text (2003) -
The research in electrodynamics focuses on how moving electric charges produce forces.
-
In electrodynamics, scientists analyze the interactions between charged particles in motion.

Etymology
Electrodynamics joins electro- and -dynamics. The electro- part comes from a Greek word for 'amber', a stone that when rubbed makes static electricity and gives us electric and electron, and -dynamics means 'force' or 'power', like in dynamic, so electrodynamics is the study of electric forces in motion.
