The pedagogical value of the four-dimensional picture III: Solutions to Maxwell's equations
Andrew E Chubykalo, Augusto Espinoza, B P Kosyakov
We outline a regular way for solving Maxwell's equations. We take, as the starting point, the notion of vector potentials. The rationale for introducing this notion in electrodynam…
The pedagogical value of the four-dimensional picture I: Relativistic mechanics of point particles
B. P. Kosyakov
We outline two subjects of relativistic mechanics: (i) the set of allowable world lines, and (ii) the origin of the relativistic law of dynamics governing point particles. We show…
The pedagogical value of the four-dimensional picture II: Another way of looking at the electromagnetic field
B. P. Kosyakov
The concept of electromagnetic field can be neatly formulated by recognizing that the simplest form of the four-force is indeed feasible. We show that Maxwell's equations almost en…
What is the quantity dual to the Lagrangian density?
Boris Kosyakov
We address the lately discovered Lagrangian density of nonlinear electrodynamics preserving both conformal invariance and electric-magnetic duality to show that the quan…
