Introduction to Electrodynamics/Chapter 7/5

7.4 Potential Formulations of Electrodynamics

8 Electromagnetic Waves

7.5 Energy and Momentum in Electrodynamics

Our new equations lead to curious results that seem to contradict some fundamental laws in classical mechanics. Namely, Newton's Third Law, which leads both to the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy.
