A&EP 355 (Intermediate Electromagnetism)
Errata list for DJ Griffiths, Introduction to Electrodynamics
Table of contentsThe spacing breaks down on p. vii, starting with
chapter 10
page 7, figure 1.11 (problem 1.4)Figure needs numbers; let the axis intercepts
be [1,3,2].
page 8, equation below equation 1.17Left side should read
(AxB)xC
page 10, heading to subsection 1.1.5Needs superscript "2" to refer to footnote
page 26, 1/3 of the way down, replace "mass" by "volume"
page 38, equation 1.61 (problem 1.35(b)First term on right side has as integrand
A "dot" (curl B), not "cross"
page 66, figure 2.14On the extreme R and L of the figure, the lines appear to
converge. Not so, the lines are spreading
page 86, figure 2.34(a)The left charge is +q, the right charge is -q
page 114Number these equations, in particular the definition of an
average over the surface of a sphere
page 123, equation 3.11Upper limit on r integral is
infinity, not pi
page 126, equation 3.19Distance variable in the equation is a, not
s
page 155, problem 3.35Missing word: "Obtaining the surface charge density
. . ."
page 157, problem 3.41In all parts, substitute the word "ball" for "sphere" for
clarity
page 194/5 discussion revolving around figure 4.30The
figure lacks label for plate separation distance d; plate width a is mislabeled as
w; equation 4.62 is not at all obvious
(the preceding discussion on forces and work does not yield any insight into the capacitance
value); there is no need to write equation 4.61, since it is not as useful as equation
4.63 in this problem
page 221 second full line from the bottom"then phi ..."
page 235, equation that isn't numbered just above 5.62The divergence in
this equation acts on the variable r' and so the notation should reflect that
page 254, equation 5.91 (problem 5.60)In the integrand it's J(r),
not Jr
page 289, equation 7.6The quantity that multiplies E is a factor, not a term;
parentheses are needed around it
page 305, heading to subsection 1.1.5Needs superscript "2" to refer to footnote
