Electromagnetic Waves: Polarization Vectors
This lecture covers the concept of plane wave polarization vectors, radiation from a moving charged particle, Maxwell equations, electromagnetic potentials, and examples of polarization vectors for linear and circular polarization. The instructor explains the calculation of electromagnetic fields and the EM potentials of a moving charged particle, emphasizing the importance of taking derivatives. The lecture also delves into the radiation field and the deformed Coulomb field, illustrating the proportional relationship with the radius. Various examples and equations are provided to enhance understanding.
