A microscopic model for the self-inductance of an ideal solenoid
Calin Galeriu
We derive the formula for the self-inductance of an ideal solenoid by calculating the total kinetic energy associated with the drift velocity of the conduction electrons.
Time-Symmetric Action-at-a-Distance Electrodynamics and the Principle of Action and Reaction for Particles at Relative Rest
Calin Galeriu
We investigate a theory of time-symmetric action-at-a-distance electrodynamic or gravitational interactions where the four-forces depend only on the electric charges, the rest mass…
The illusion of acceleration in the retarded Lienard-Wiechert electromagnetic field
Calin Galeriu
It is generally assumed that the retarded Lienard-Wiechert electromagnetic field produced by a point particle depends on the acceleration of that source particle. This dependence i…
Comment on "Doppler signature in electrodynamic retarded potentials"
Calin Galeriu
We analyze in great detail the mathematical derivations from the article "Doppler signature in electrodynamic retarded potentials" by Giovanni Perosa, Simone Di Mitri, William A. B…
The algebraic origin of the Doppler factor in the Lienard-Wiechert potentials
Calin Galeriu
After reviewing the algebraic derivation of the Doppler factor in the Lienard-Wiechert potentials of an electrically charged point particle, we conclude that the Dirac delta functi…
Time symmetric electrodynamics, electric charge conservation, and the Lorenz gauge
Calin Galeriu
We reveal a new way in which the Lorenz gauge condition is related to the electric charge conservation, in a universe where electrically charged point particles are created and ann…
A derivation of the Doppler factor in the Lienard-Wiechert potentials
Calin Galeriu
We present an elegant derivation of the Doppler factor in the Lienard-Wiechert potentials of an extended particle, based on a theorem authored by J. L. Synge and dealing with cross…
The geometrical origin of the Doppler factor in the Lienard-Wiechert potentials
Calin Galeriu
We present an in depth analysis and a new derivation of the Doppler factor in the Lienard-Wiechert potentials, based on geometrical considerations in Minkowski space. We argue that…
Electric charge in hyperbolic motion: the special conformal transformation solution
Calin Galeriu
As a simple application of special conformal transformations, we derive the electromagnetic field produced by an electric charge in hyperbolic motion. Unlike other purely algebraic…
Electric charge in hyperbolic motion: arcane geometrical aspects
Calin Galeriu
We look at an electric charge in hyperbolic motion, and we describe some arcane geometrical aspects of the electrodynamic interaction. We discuss the advantages of a time symmetric…
Relativistic Point Particles and Classical Elastic Strings
Calin Galeriu
We extend the previous work of Olivier Costa de Beauregard regarding the isomorphism between the equation describing the motion of relativistic point particles and the equation des…
Electric charge in hyperbolic motion: The early history and other geometrical aspects
Calin Galeriu
We revisit the early work of Minkowski and Sommerfeld concerning hyperbolic motion, and we describe some geometrical aspects of the electrodynamic interaction. We discuss the advan…
Electronic structure of wurtzite quantum dots with cylindrical symmetry
L. C. Lew Yan Voon, C. Galeriu, B. Lassen +2
This paper presents a six-band k.p theory for wurtzite semiconductor nanostructures with cylindrical symmetry. Our work extends the formulation of Vahala and Sercel [Physical Revie…
A derivation of the homogenous Maxwell equations
Calin Galeriu
We present a theoretical derivation of the homogenous Maxwell equations, based on Stokes theorem for Minkowski space tensors.
Radiation reaction 4-force: orthogonal or parallel to the 4-velocity?
Calin Galeriu
In this note we point to some problems related to the standard derivation of the radiation reaction 4-force, and we propose a new expression for this 4-force, parallel to the 4-vel…
Time symmetric action-at-a-distance electrodynamics and the structure of SpaceTime
Calin Galeriu
This paper begins with a critical analysis of the concept of 'material point particle'. We argue that this concept is incompatible with the force laws of action-at-a-distance elect…
Electromagnetic interaction between two uniformly moving charged particles: a geometrical derivation using Minkowski diagrams
Calin Galeriu
This paper presents an intuitive, geometrical derivation of the relativistic addition of velocities, and of the electromagnetic interaction between two uniformly moving charged par…
