Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how electrodynamics appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Some of the most beautiful and thus appealing physical theories, including quantum electrodynamics and quantum gravity, have been dogged for decades by infinities that erupt when theorists try to prod their calculations into new domains. Getting rid of these nagging infinities has probably occupied far more effort than was spent in originating the theories.
Etymology
From electro- + dynamics.
