English translation of Preisach's paper "Über die magnetische Nachwirkung"

This paper [1] has been already cited 2000+ times according to the statistics of Google Scholar. Hence I assume there should be English translated version for such a classic paper on hysteresis but I ...

Where can I find the original derivation of Walter Ritz ballistic theory?

Where can I find the original derivation of Walter Ritz ballistic theory? I think it can be found most probably in his own book "Gesammelte werke Walter Ritz". Although there is an english version, I ...

Does the motion of a free electron in a plane wave electromagnetic field have analytical solutions?

Does the motion $[x(t), y(t), z(t)]$ of a free electron in plane wave electromagnetic field have analytical solution (oscillating E and B fields)? The Lorentz force is : \begin{align}m_e\begin{...

Historical analysis of light interference - difference frequencies

It is well-known that light of two different frequencies illuminating a detector will produce an output with a component at the difference frequency. While such considerations are eminently useful (...

A classically trivial quantum field theory of electromagnetism

Presumably there is a field theory of electromagnetism that classically gives trivial equations of motion, but when quantized shows interesting topological phenomena. I am talking about the Lagrangian ...

What name would you give to the method of approximating an arbitrary magnet with many smaller dipoles?

Let's say I had an arbitrarily shaped permanent magnet, with total magnetic moment $M_{0}$. Ways to calculate the magnetic field of this magnet include an analytic solution (if one exists), as well ...

How does Doppler effect differ between EM -waves in Electrodynamics and Sound -waves?

I have an electrodynamics -course that contains doupler -effect but unfortunately with little explanations. Is it the same thing as the classical doppler effect for example with sound, more here, or ...

What equation describes the electrostatic potential in these circumstances?

I have a solver for Poisson's equation and it works nicely. It uses finite differences. It works in the presence of multiple dielectrics. It also solves the Poisson Boltzmann equation. That is, fixed ...
