  • Summary

    Remember the basic problem of classical electrodynamics: we have a collection of charges q1,q2,q3,… (the “source” charges), and we want to calculate the force they exert on some other charge Q (the “test” charge – Fig. 2.1). According to the principle of superposition, it is sufficient to find the force of a single source charge – the total is then the vector sum of all the individual forces.

  • 14 - Protecting the Environment

  • from Part II - The Substance of International Law
  • Jan Klabbers, University of Helsinki
  • Book:
    International Law
    Published online:
    19 October 2023
    Print publication:
    02 November 2023, pp 277-293

  • Summary

    This chapter discusses the way international law aims to help protect the environment (or does not), by focusing on relevant legal instruments and relevant instances

  • 12 - International Criminal Law

  • from Part II - The Substance of International Law
  • Jan Klabbers, University of Helsinki
  • Book:
    International Law
    Published online:
    19 October 2023
    Print publication:
    02 November 2023, pp 235-252

  • Summary

    This chapter discusses international criminal law (fighting political crimes) and transboundary police cooperation (fighting common crimes), though mechanisms such as the ICC, but also extradition and abduction

  • 6 - Magnetic Fields in Matter

    Introduction to Electrodynamics

    02 November 2023, pp 268-297

  • Summary

    If you ask the average person what “magnetism” is, you will probably be told about refrigerator decorations, compass needles, and the North Pole – none of which has any obvious connection with moving charges or current-carrying wires. And yet, in classical electrodynamics all magnetic phenomena are due to electric charges in motion; if you could examine a piece of magnetic material on an atomic scale you would find tiny currents: electrons orbiting around nuclei and spinning about their axes.

  • Summary

    In this chapter we study conservation of energy, momentum, and angular momentum, in electrodynamics. But I want to begin by reviewing the conservation of charge, because it is the paradigm for all conservation laws. What precisely does conservation of charge tell us? That the total charge in the Universe is constant? Well, sure – that’s global conservation of charge. But local conservation of charge is a much stronger statement: if the charge in some region changes, then exactly that amount of charge must have passed in or out through the surface. The tiger can’t simply rematerialize outside the cage; if it got from inside to outside it must have slipped through a hole in the fence.
