Forces between electric charges in motion: Rutherford scattering, circular Keplerian orbits, action-at-a-distance and Newton's third law in relativistic classical electrodynamics
J. H. Field
Standard formulae of classical electromagnetism for the forces between electric charges in motion derived from retarded potentials are compared with those obtained from a recently…

Classical Electromagnetism as a Consequence of Coulomb's Law, Special Relativity and Hamilton's Principle and its Relationship to Quantum Electrodynamics
J. H. Field
It is demonstrated how all the mechanical equations of classical electrodynamics (CEM) may be derived from only Coulomb's inverse square force law, special relativity and Hamilton'…

On the Relationship of Quantum Mechanics to Classical Electromagnetism and Classical Relativistic Mechanics
J. H. Field
Some connections between quantum mechanics and classical physics are explored. The Planck-Einstein and De Broglie relations, the wavefunction and its probabilistic interpretation,…
