چکیده
In the present work a number of questions concerning foundations of the classical electrodynamics is discussed. First of all they are the law of the energy conservation and the introduction of particles in the classical electrodynamics. We pay attention to a logic error which takes place at an interpretation of the Poynting's theorem following from the equations of Maxwell-Lorentz as the law of conservation of energy. It was shown, that the laws of conservation of energy and momentum of the system of electromagnetic fields and charged particles does not follow from the equations of electrodynamics and the violation of these laws is displayed at the energy change of particles. Particular examples are considered which make it possible to restrict a possible kind of fields of a non-electromagnetic origin. We hope that this work will permit to produce a more comprehensive analysis and to stimulate the next step to the development of the bases of the classical and quantum electrodynamics.

An Approach to Unifying Classical and Quantum Electrodynamics
The foundations of quantum mechanics (QM) can find a consistent and exhaustive explanation in a new theoretical context. The “Approach” allows us to justify both classical and quantum electromagnetic phenomenology by using classical concepts. In this paper we review the bases of the attempt originating form the role that the transverse component of the Poynting vector plays in localising energy...

We will display the fundamental structure of classical electrodynamics. Starting from the axioms of (1) electric charge conservation, (2) the existence of a Lorentz force density, and (3) magnetic flux conservation, we will derive Maxwell’s equations. They are expressed in terms of the field strengths (E,B), the excitations (D,H), and the sources (ρ, j). This fundamental set of four microphysic...

The axiomatic structure of the electromagnetic theory is outlined. We will base classical electrodynamics on (1) electric charge conservation, (2) the Lorentz force, (3) magnetic flux conservation, and (4) on the Maxwell-Lorentz spacetime relations. This yields the Maxwell equations. The consequences will be drawn, inter alia, for the interpretation and the dimension of the electric and magneti...

Coulomb comes in quanta, weber may come in quanta. – We will base classical electrodynamics on electric charge conservation, the Lorentz force, and on magnetic flux conservation. This yields the Maxwell equations. The consequences will be drawn for the interpretation and the dimension of the electric and magnetic fields. Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] 1

We sketch the foundations of classical electrodynamics, in particular the transition that took place when Einstein, in 1915, succeeded to formulate general relativity. In 1916 Einstein demonstrated that, with a choice of suitable variables for the electromagnetic field, it is possible to put Maxwell’s equation into a form that is covariant under general coordinate transformations. This unfolded...
