Jackson Errata(2010)

Jackson, Classical Electrodynamics, 3rd ed., Errata reported from February 2002 to May 2008These errata, except for a few glitches, are incorporated in the 19th reprinting, 2009-2010.

FitzGerald (Nature 48, 526 (1893)) who estimated the frequency of oscillation to be10 Hz and suggested excitation by thunderstorms. In US patent 787,412 (1905), NikolaTesla estimated the frequency to be 6 Hz (close to the real part of the complex frequencyof the strongly damped lowest mode for a perfectly conducting earth with no outerconductor) and described generation and detection of such low-frequency waves.p. 380 - last line, unnumbered equation - The first factor on the RHS should read exp[iωS(x0)/c], not exp[iωS(x0)].p. 410, second equation - there should be a factor of r in the denominator.[Everett Lipman, 10.10.02]p. 451 - Problem 9.6(b) - The expression for B(x, t) should be multiplied by c to decrease the powers of c in the denominators by one power each.p. 519 - unnumbered equation below (11.7) - denominator on right should be c', not c.[Nigel Buttimore, January 2005]p. 556 - Eq.(11.139) - the left hand side should read εαβγδ , not eαβγδ .[Stephen Snyder, April 20, 2007]p. 577 - Problem 11.28 - At the beginning of line 3, replace boldface Φ' with Φ' .[Richard Tipping, September 29, 2006]p. 595 - Figure 12.5 - On the spiraling path of the particle, the second arrowhead from the leftshould either be reversed or transferred to the earlier segment of the path immediately toits right.[Taylor Aune, February 28, 2007]p .598 - Eq.(12.82) , last expression on first line - the numerator should read qiqj , not qiqi .[Stephen Snyder, April 20, 2007]p. 599 - Eq.(12.84) - last expression on the right should have 1/c in front of the integral.[Nigel Buttimore, January 2005] p. 706 - Problem 14.24 - Parenthetical sentence at the end - Replace with(In a real wire there are the stationary positive ions, possible static surface charge, andeven a tiny volume charge density from an internal Hall effect.)[157 characters, include. spaces] {in response to Assis & Hernandes, in their book}
