Laura Natal Rodrigues (Images generously made available by Hathi Trust Digital Library.) "Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory" by H. A. Lorentz is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a lecture, specifically the Rede Lecture for 1923, aimed at reviewing the significant contributions of James Clerk Maxwell to the field of electromagnetic theory. It discusses Maxwell’s groundbreaking work that intertwined electricity, magnetism, and light, establishing a cohesive framework that simplified existing theories while presenting new insights. In this lecture, Lorentz examines Maxwell’s contributions in detail, exploring how his formulations resolved longstanding uncertainties in electrodynamics and optics. The text outlines the transformations in understanding electric and magnetic phenomena, including the revolutionary notion that light itself is an electromagnetic wave. Lorentz also highlights the subsequent advancements in physics that stemmed from Maxwell’s work, such as Poynting's theorem and the principles of electromagnetic momentum. The lecture emphasizes the foundational impact Maxwell's equations have had on modern physics, acknowledging that despite later theoretical developments, his principles remain essential to the understanding of electromagnetic fields and their interactions.
