On some applications of Galilean electrodynamics of moving bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the seminal article in which Le Bellac and Lévy-Leblond have identified two Galilean limits of electromagnetism [1], and its modern implications. Recent works have shed a new light on the choice of gauge conditions in classical electromagnetism. We discuss various applications and experiments, such as in quantum mechanics, superconductivity, electrodynamics of continuous media, etc. Much of the current technology, where waves are not taken into account, is actually based on Galilean electromagnetism.

متن کاملOn the electrodynamics of Minkowski at low velocities
The Galilean constitutive equations for the electrodynamics of moving media are derived for the first time. They explain all the historic and modern experiments which were interpreted so far in a relativistic framework assuming the constant light celerity principle. Here, we show the latter to be sufficient but not necessary. Copyright c © EPLA, 2008 One century ago, Hermann Minkowski formulate...

We discuss the seminal article in which Le Bellac and Lévy-Leblond have identified two Galilean limits of electromagnetism [1], and its modern implications. We use their results to point out some confusion in the literature and in the teaching of special relativity and electromagnetism. For instance, it is not widely recognized that there exist two well defined non-relativistic limits, so that ...

We discuss an article by Le Bellac and Lévy-Leblond in which they have identified two Galilean limits of electromagnetism (1973 Nuovo Cimento B 14 217–33). We use their results to point out some confusion in the literature, and in the teaching of special relativity and electromagnetism. For instance, it is not widely recognized that there exist two well-defined non-relativistic limits, so that ...
