Lorenz or Coulomb in Galilean Electromagnetism ?

چکیده

Galilean Electromagnetism was discovered thirty years ago by Levy-Leblond & Le Bellac. However, these authors only explored the consequences for the fields and not for the potentials. Following De Montigny & al., we show that the Coulomb gauge condition is the magnetic limit of the Lorenz gauge condition whereas the Lorenz gauge condition applies in the electric limit of Lévy-Leblond & Le Bellac. Contrary to De Montigny & al. who used Galilean tensor calculus, we use orders of magnitude based on physical motivations in our derivation. __________________________________________________________________________________________

2 00 5 On the electrodynamics of moving bodies at low velocities 1

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 ...

On the electrodynamics of moving bodies at low velocities

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 ...

Forty years of Galilean Electromagnetism (1973– 2013)

We review Galilean Electromagnetism since the 1973 seminal paper of Jean-Marc Lévy-Leblond and Michel Le Bellac and we explain for the first time all the historical experiments of Rowland, Vasilescu Karpen, Roentgen, Eichenwald, Wilson, Wilson and Wilson, which were previously interpreted in a Special Relativistic framework by showing the uselessness of the latter for setups involving slow moti...
