Abstract
THE second volume of Frenkel's “Elektrodynamik” extends the microscopic theory—the individual electron theory—to the form of the theory, obtained by statistical averaging, which is concerned more with the behaviour of matter in bulk, that is, with electromagnetic phenomena as they are presented to our senses. The work is divided into two main sections, the first of which contains a derivation of the form of the equations of the theory applicable to fields containing distributions of matter of various types; here we find a detailed exposition of such subjects as dielectric and magnetic polarisation, of electrical conductivity, and of the energy and mechanical relations of the bodies in the field.
