The Darwin-Breit magnetic interaction and superconductivity
Hanno Essen, Miguel C. N. Fiolhais
A number of facts indicating the relevance of the Darwin magnetic interaction energy in the superconducting phase are pointed out. The magnetic interaction term derived by Darwin i…
Electrodynamics of Perfect Conductors
Miguel C. N. Fiolhais, Hanno Essén
The most general electrodynamic equations of a perfect conducting state are obtained using a variational principle in a classical framework, following an approach by Pierre-Gilles…
Mechanics, cosmology and Mach's principle
Hanno Essen
It is pointed out that recent cosmological findings seem to support the view that the mass/energy distribution of the universe defines the Newtonian inertial frames as originally s…
Meissner effect, diamagnetism, and classical physics - a review
Hanno Essen, Miguel C. N. Fiolhais
We review the literature on what classical physics has to say about the Meissner effect and the London equations. We first discuss the relevance of the Bohr-van Leeuwen theorem for…
Classical diamagnetism, magnetic interaction energies, and repulsive forces in magnetized plasmas
Hanno Essen
The Bohr-van Leeuwen theorem is often summarized as saying that there is no classical magnetic susceptibility, in particular no diamagnetism. This is seriously misleading. The theo…
The comfortable roller coaster -- on the shape of tracks with constant normal force
Arne B. Nordmark, Hanno Essen
A particle that moves along a smooth track in a vertical plane is influenced by two forces: gravity and normal force. The force experienced by roller coaster riders is the normal f…
