Basic equations of electromagnetic processes in moving bodies

Creators

Description

The classical work by G. Minkovski on electrodynamics of moving bodies is discussed. Using the formulated relativity principle an absolutely unambiguous derivation of equations of electrodynamics of moving bodies and bodies at rest is given. It is shown that none of the previously proposed types of such equations accurately correspond to the principle of relativity. The derivation of basic equations of the Lorentz theory and euqtions of E. Kohn is given. The canonical representation of basic equations is presented
