Engineering Physics Annotation << Back ROLE AND PLACE OF KINETIC INDUCTANCE OF CHARGES IN CLASSICAL ELECTRODYNAMICS F.F. MENDE Permittivity and magnetic permeability are the main material parameters in the equations of Maksvell. However there is one more material parameter, namely kinetic inductance of charges which plays not less important role. Fundamental nature of this parameter isn't realized till now, and kinetic inductance is present at all equations of electrodynamics implicitly. The given work is devoted consideration of a role of kinetic inductance in electrodynamics of material environments. Key words: electrodynamics, dielectric permeability, kinetic inductance, conductor, dielectric, plasma, dispersion. Contacts: E-mail: mende_fedor@mail.ru Pp. 10-19.
