  • Direct Derivation of Liénard–Wiechert Potentials, Maxwell's

    Direct Derivation of Liénard–Wiechert Potentials, Maxwell's

    Direct derivation of Li´enard{Wiechert potentials, Maxwell's equations and Lorentz force from Coulomb's law Hrvoje Dodig∗ University of Split, Rudera Boˇskovi´ca37, 21000 Split, Croatia Abstract In 19th century Maxwell derived famous Maxwell equations from the knowledge of three experimental physical laws: the electrostatic Coulomb's law, Ampere's force law and Faraday's law of induction. However, theoretical basis for Ampere's force law and Fara- day's law remains unknown to this day. Furthermore, the Lorentz force is considered as summary of experimental phenomena, the theoretical foundation that explains genera- tion of this force is still unknown. To answer these fundamental theoretical questions, in this paper we derive relativisti- cally correct Li´enard{ Wiechert potentials, Maxwell's equations and Lorentz force from two simple postulates: (a) when all charges are at rest the Coulomb's force acts between the charges, and (b) that disturbances caused by charge in motion propagate away from the source with finite velocity. The special relativity was not used in our derivations nor the Lorentz transformation. In effect, it was shown in this paper that all the electrody- namic laws, including the Lorentz force, can be derived from Coulomb's law and time retardation. This was accomplished by analysis of hypothetical experiment where test charge is at rest and where previously moving source charge stops at some time in the past. Then the generalized Helmholtz decomposition theorem, also derived in this paper, was applied to reformulate Coulomb's force acting at present time as the function of positions of source charge at previous time when the source charge was moving.
  • The Helmholtz Decomposition of Decreasing and Weakly Increasing Vector Fields

    The Helmholtz Decomposition of Decreasing and Weakly Increasing Vector Fields

    The Helmholtz’ decomposition of decreasing and weakly increasing vector fields D. Petrascheck and R. Folk Institute for Theoretical Physics University Linz Altenbergerstr. 69, Linz, Austria Abstract Helmholtz’ decomposition theorem for vector fields is presented usually with too strong restric- tions on the fields. Based on the work of Blumenthal of 1905 it is shown that the decomposition of vector fields is not only possible for asymptotically weakly decreasing vector fields, but even for vector fields, which asymptotically increase sublinearly. Use is made of a regularization of the Green’s function and the mathematics of the proof is formulated as simply as possible. We also show a few examples for the decomposition of vector fields including the electric dipole radiation. Keywords: Helmholtz theorem, vector field, electromagnetic radiation arXiv:1506.00235v2 [physics.class-ph] 14 Oct 2015 1 I. INTRODUCTION According to the Helmholtz’ theorem one can decompose a given vector field ~v(~x) into a sum of two vector fields ~vl(~x) and ~vt(~x) where ~vl is irrotational (curl-free) and ~vt solenoidal (divergence-free), if the vector field fulfills certain conditions on continuity and asymptotic decrease (r ). Here ~x is the position vector in three-dimensional space and r = ~x its →∞ | | absolute value. The two parts of the vector field can be expressed as gradient of a scalar potential and curl of a vector potential, respectively. Concerning the validity, the uniqueness of the decomposition and the existence of the respective potentials one finds different conditions. The fundamental theorem for vector fields is historically based on Helmholtz’ work on vortices1,2 and therefore also known as Helmholtz’ decomposition theorem.

    A 1 Case-PR/ }*Rciofft.;Is Report

    .A 1 case-PR/ }*rciofft.;is Report (a) This eruption site on Mauna Loa Volcano was the main source of the voluminous lavas that flowed two- thirds of the distance to the town of Hilo (20 km). In the interior of the lava fountains, the white-orange color indicates maximum temperatures of about 1120°C; deeper orange in both the fountains and flows reflects decreasing temperatures (<1100°C) at edges and the surface. (b) High winds swept the exposed ridges, and the filter cannister was changed in the shelter of a p^hoehoc (lava) ridge to protect the sample from gas contamination. (c) Because of the high temperatures and acid gases, special clothing and equipment was necessary to protect the eyes. nose, lungs, and skin. Safety features included military flight suits of nonflammable fabric, fuil-face respirators that are equipped with dual acidic gas filters (purple attachments), hard hats, heavy, thick-soled boots, and protective gloves. We used portable radios to keep in touch with the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, where the area's seismic activity was monitored continuously. (d) Spatter activity in the Pu'u O Vent during the January 1984 eruption of Kilauea Volcano. Magma visible in the circular conduit oscillated in a piston-like fashion; spatter was ejected to heights of 1 to 10 m. During this activity, we sampled gases continuously for 5 hours at the west edge. Cover photo: This aerial view of Kilauea Volcano was taken in April 1984 during overflights to collect gas samples from the plume. The bluish portion of the gas plume contained a far higher density of fine-grained scoria (ash).
  • Representations of Finite Groups

    Representations of Finite Groups

    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 15/2006 Representations of Finite Groups Organised by Alexander S. Kleshchev (Eugene) Markus Linckelmann (Aberdeen) Gunter Malle (Kaiserslautern) Jeremy Rickard (Bristol) March 26th – April 1st, 2006 Abstract. The workshop ”Representations of finite groups” was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Aberdeen), G. Malle (Kaiser- slautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20-06 20Cxx. Introduction by the Organisers The meeting was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Ab- erdeen), G. Malle (Kaiserslautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). This meeting was attended by over 50 participants with broad geographic representation. It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. This workshop was sponsored by a project of the Eu- ropean Union which allowed us to invite in addition to established researchers also a couple of young people working on a PhD in representation theory. In eleven longer lectures of 40 minutes each and twentytwo shorter contributions of 30 min- utes each, recent progress in representation theory was presented and interesting new research directions were proposed. Besides the lectures, there was plenty of time for informal discussion between the participants, either continuing ongoing research cooperation or starting new projects. The topics of the talks came roughly from two major areas: on the one hand side, the investigation of representation theoretic properties of general finite groups and related objects, on the other hand the determination and detailed analysis of representations of special classes of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras.
  • The Language of Differential Forms

    The Language of Differential Forms

    Appendix A The Language of Differential Forms This appendix—with the only exception of Sect.A.4.2—does not contain any new physical notions with respect to the previous chapters, but has the purpose of deriving and rewriting some of the previous results using a different language: the language of the so-called differential (or exterior) forms. Thanks to this language we can rewrite all equations in a more compact form, where all tensor indices referred to the diffeomorphisms of the curved space–time are “hidden” inside the variables, with great formal simplifications and benefits (especially in the context of the variational computations). The matter of this appendix is not intended to provide a complete nor a rigorous introduction to this formalism: it should be regarded only as a first, intuitive and oper- ational approach to the calculus of differential forms (also called exterior calculus, or “Cartan calculus”). The main purpose is to quickly put the reader in the position of understanding, and also independently performing, various computations typical of a geometric model of gravity. The readers interested in a more rigorous discussion of differential forms are referred, for instance, to the book [22] of the bibliography. Let us finally notice that in this appendix we will follow the conventions introduced in Chap. 12, Sect. 12.1: latin letters a, b, c,...will denote Lorentz indices in the flat tangent space, Greek letters μ, ν, α,... tensor indices in the curved manifold. For the matter fields we will always use natural units = c = 1. Also, unless otherwise stated, in the first three Sects.

    South Pole-Aitken Basin

    Feasibility Assessment of All Science Concepts within South Pole-Aitken Basin INTRODUCTION While most of the NRC 2007 Science Concepts can be investigated across the Moon, this chapter will focus on specifically how they can be addressed in the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA). SPA is potentially the largest impact crater in the Solar System (Stuart-Alexander, 1978), and covers most of the central southern farside (see Fig. 8.1). SPA is both topographically and compositionally distinct from the rest of the Moon, as well as potentially being the oldest identifiable structure on the surface (e.g., Jolliff et al., 2003). Determining the age of SPA was explicitly cited by the National Research Council (2007) as their second priority out of 35 goals. A major finding of our study is that nearly all science goals can be addressed within SPA. As the lunar south pole has many engineering advantages over other locations (e.g., areas with enhanced illumination and little temperature variation, hydrogen deposits), it has been proposed as a site for a future human lunar outpost. If this were to be the case, SPA would be the closest major geologic feature, and thus the primary target for long-distance traverses from the outpost. Clark et al. (2008) described four long traverses from the center of SPA going to Olivine Hill (Pieters et al., 2001), Oppenheimer Basin, Mare Ingenii, and Schrödinger Basin, with a stop at the South Pole. This chapter will identify other potential sites for future exploration across SPA, highlighting sites with both great scientific potential and proximity to the lunar South Pole.
