Moving Magnetic Flux and Electromagnetic Induction

Allan Walstad

Magnetic flux can move, and moving magnetic flux is associated with induced electric fields. Where there are multiple sources of flux, the induced electric field is the vector resu…

Time dilation and length contraction without relativity: The Bohr atom and the semi-classical hydrogen molecule ion

Allan Walstad

Recently it was shown that classical "relativistic" particle dynamics was implicit in physics going back to Maxwell. The demonstration utilized a simple modification of a 1906 thou…

A Critical Reexamination of the Electrostatic Aharonov-Bohm Effect

Allan Walstad

This paper undertakes a critical reexamination of the electrostatic version of the Aharonov-Bohm ("AB") effect. The conclusions are as follows: 1. Aharonov and Bohm's 1959 expositi…

Further Considerations Regarding the Aharonov-Bohm Effect and the Wavefunction of the Entire System

Allan Walstad

In an earlier paper it was demonstrated that the hypothesized electrostatic version of the Aharonov-Bohm ("AB") effect does not exist. The conclusion follows straightforwardly once…

"Relativistic" particle dynamics without relativity

Allan Walstad

It is shown that the correct expressions for momentum and kinetic energy of a particle moving at high speed were already implicit in physics going back to Maxwell. The demonstratio…

Quantum Dynamical Relativity and the Nature of Spacetime

Allan Walstad

Einstein's special theory of relativity starts with assumptions about how observations conducted in relatively moving inertial frames must compare. From these assumptions, conclusi…
