What's the Use of Bound Charge?
David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo
Bound charge is a useful construct for calculating the electrostatic field of polarized material, and it represents a perfectly genuine accumulation of charge. But is such a materi…
The Fields of a Charged Particle in Hyperbolic Motion
Joel Franklin, David J. Griffiths
A particle in hyperbolic motion produces electric fields that appear to terminate in mid-air, violating Gauss's law. The resolution to this paradox has been known for sixty years,…
The torque on a dipole in uniform motion
David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo
We calculate the torque on an ideal (point) dipole moving with constant velocity through uniform electric and magnetic fields.
Mansuripur's Paradox
David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo
A recent article claims that the Lorentz force law is incompatible with special relativity. We discuss the "paradox" on which this claim is based. The resolution depends on whether…
Comment on "Trouble with the Lorentz Law of Force"
David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo
A recent article claims the Lorentz force law is incompatible with special relativity. The claim is false, and the "paradox" on which it is based was resolved many years ago.
