| name | electrodynamics |
| description | Electrodynamics reasoning and knowledge graph — extends landau-graph with boundary-value methods, waveguides, antennas, scattering, crystal optics, coherence theory, and nonlinear/strong-field electrodynamics from 6 standard textbooks. |
| unit_system | SI |
| unit_note | All formulas in this skill use SI units, following Jackson and Griffiths. Maxwell: ∇·E=ρ/ε₀, ∇×B=μ₀J+μ₀ε₀∂E/∂t. Coulomb: F=q₁q₂/(4πε₀r²). Lorentz force: F=q(E+v×B). ε₀ and μ₀ appear throughout. Landau-graph (which this skill extends) uses GAUSSIAN units. For conversion, load the `si-gaussian-conversion` skill.

Electrodynamics Skill Graph
Extends landau-graph with applied electrodynamics, optics, and strong-field
phenomena. All edges point FROM landau-graph TO this skill; landau-graph is
never modified.

Graph Structure
- Reasoning nodes: Boundary-value methods, waveguide modes, antenna radiation,
scattering cross sections, optical coherence, nonlinear response
- Knowledge nodes: Concrete EM phenomena — method of images, Mie scattering,
Fabry-Perot, birefringence, SHG, pair production, etc.
- Edges: Connects to landau-graph reasoning nodes (prerequisite, reasoning-instance,
analogy). No reverse edges.
