of the sphere, as stated in the caption and in the text.
Page 124, line 4. This should say: "…qV = 500 eV, i.e. 1 keV per orbit."
Page 144, line 14. Delete "Assuming that Ohm's law, V = IR, is valid." Even when Ohm's law is
not valid (so that R is not constant but depends on V and I), we can still define a resistance by
R = V/I, and the three expressions for the power dissipated are all valid.
d
Page 158, line 18. The equation should read: "=  rS curl A  dS  ..."

Page 217, Section 9.4, line 10. For “course” read “coarse”.
Page 227. In Figure 10.8 the force vector should be in the  frame, so it should be labelled
F = (Fx, Fy, Fz)
The caption to Figure 10.8 should read:
"In frame , an observer measures a force F acting on a particle. What force would be
measured by an observer in frame ?"
The second sentence under Figure 10.8 should begin:
"If a particle at rest in frame  is subject to a force F, then …"
Page 235, Figure 10.12. The RHS of this figure should say: "gradient operator in
frame  " (not ).
Page 247, line 3. This should read: “… and curl H = Jf”

should read: “……exp[i(kr  r….”, (i.e. delete the minus sign).
Page 95, line 3. The first line in the box should read: "… ( ) = real () + i imag()"
Page 103, line 45. The first line after the blue box should read:
“Similar arguments show that Esum and Bsum also obey Gauss’s law and the no-monopole law.
However they do not satisfy the Ampère-Maxwell law because the permittivity is different for
the two frequencies 1 and 2 of the solution pairs {E1, B1} and {E2, B2}. As a consequence,
they do not generally obey a wave equation, as …”
Page 103, the first bullet point in the yellow box should read: “any linear combination of plane
wave solutions of Maxwell’s four equations – involving waves of different frequencies  is
itself a solution of Gauss’s law, the no-monopole law and Faraday’s law, but not of the Ampère-
Maxwell law;"
Page 123, Figure 5.3. The visible light spectrum in Figure 5.3 is the wrong way round. The red
frequencies should be adjacent to the infrared frequencies and the violet frequencies should be
adjacent to the ultraviolet frequencies.
Page 142, lines 6 and 7. These should say: “… of the boundaries at x = 0 and x = b, …”.
Page 167, line 7 and line 9. Replace "Subsection 6.2.1" with "Subsection 6.1.7" in both cases.
DVD 2
In the notes for video “Bending magnets” on DVD 2 (associated with Chapter 6 of Book 2),
page 4, Solution 3, the equation for the focal length of the magnet should contain the factor 1/gl
and not g/l. The equation was shown correctly on page 1 and the calculated answer is correct.
In the notes for video “Absorption of electromagnetic waves “on DVD 2, Solution 3 should
read: …“Using  = 2 /0 , we find  = 0.008 mm at 100 MHz, and  = 0.18 mm at
200 kHz. If the foil thickness is 0.1 mm, then the 100 MHz signal is attenuated by exp (y/)
 exp (12.5)  4  106, and the 200 kHz signal by exp (0.56)  0.6…”
