Jackson Electrodynamics Solutions

This page contains solutions to problems from Classical Electrodyamics third edition by John David Jackson (blue cover).

A few notes before you dig in:

These solutions come with absolutely no guarantees. If the problem is not listed below, I do not have the solution.

DO NOT COPY these solutions - I shouldn't have to say this, since most of you are in graduate school and know how to use solutions. However, I did get a complaint from a professor, so don't be stupid.

I have links to other pages with Jackson solutions at the bottom of this page.

If you have solutions you'd like to share/have me publish or if you have corrections to my work, please e-mail me.

Solutions in the left column are the problems I did myself. Solutions in the right column were sent to me by Azar Mustafayev, and were part of homework solutions worked out by his professor, Professor Dan Kimel, at Florida State University and were posted on the course web page.
