评“洛仑兹力定律的麻烦:与狭义相对论和动量守恒的不相容”

Comment on "Trouble with the Lorentz law of force: Incompatibility with special relativity and momentum conservation"

Daniel A. T. Vanzella

摘要:

最近有人认为,洛伦兹力与狭义相对论不相容,应该在磁化和极化的存在下进行修正,以避免在电场存在下涉及磁体的悖论。在这里,我们强调相对主义者中众所周知的事实,即这种不相容性是根本不可能的,并表明这种“悖论”的出现仅仅是没有充分考虑洛伦兹力的协变形式的相对论后果的结果。然而,应该指出的是,这种批评并没有使关于自然界遵循的力的定律的争论无效,这是一个实验问题。

英文摘要:

It has been recently argued that the Lorentz force is incompatible with Special Relativity and should be amended in the presence of magnetization and polarization in order to avoid a paradox involving a magnet in the presence of an electric field. Here we stress the well-known fact among relativists that such an incompatibility is simply impossible and show that the appearance of such a "paradox" is a mere consequence of not fully considering the relativistic consequences of the covariant form of the Lorentz force. It should be mentioned, though, that this criticism does not invalidate the debate on which is the law of force followed by Nature, which is an experimental issue.
