英文摘要：

We analyze the transformation properties of Faraday law in an empty space and its relationship with Maxwell equations. In our analysis we express the Faraday law via the four-potential of electromagnetic field and the field of four-velocity, defined on a circuit under its deforming motion. The obtained equations show one more facet of the physical meaning of electromagnetic potentials, where the motional and transformer parts of the flux rule are incorporated into a common phenomenon, reflecting the dependence of four-potential on spatial and time coordinates, correspondingly. It has been explicitly shown that for filamentary closed deforming circuit the flux rule is Lorentz-invariant. At the same time, analyzing a transformation of e.m.f., we revealed a controversy: due to causal requirements, the e.m.f. should be the value of fixed sign, whereas the Lorentz invariance of flux rule admits the cases, where the e.m.f. might change its sign for different inertial observers. Possible resolutions of this controversy are discussed.

Faraday's Law and Magnetic Induction: cause and effect, experiment and theory

Faraday's Law of induction is often stated as "a change in magnetic flux causes an EMF"; or, more cautiously, "a change in magnetic flux is associated with an EMF"; It is as well that the more cautious form exists, because the first "causes" form is incompatible with the usual expression $V = - \partial_t Φ$. This is not, however, to deny the causality as reasonably inferred from experimental observation - it is the equation for Faraday's Law of induction which does not represent the claimed cause-and-effect relationship. Here I investigate a selection of different approaches, trying to see ho…

On Equivalent Expressions for the Faraday's Law of Induction

In this paper we give a rigorous proof of the equivalence of some different forms of Faraday's law of induction clarifying some misconceptions on the subject and emphasizing that many derivations of this law appearing in textbooks and papers are only valid under very special circumstances and not satisfactory under a mathematical point of view.

Faraday Induction and the Current Carriers in a Circuit

In this article, it is pointed out that Faraday induction can be treated from an untraditional, particle-based point of view. The electromagnetic fields of Faraday induction can be calculated explicitly from approximate point-charge fields derived from the Liénard-Wiechert expressions or from the Darwin Lagrangian. Thus the electric fields of electrostatics, the magnetic fields of magnetostatics, and the electric fields of Faraday induction can all be regarded as arising from charged particles. Some aspects of electromagnetic induction are explored for a hypothetical circuit consisting of poin…

Electromagnetic Induction and the Conservation of Momentum in the Spiral Paradox

The inversion of cause and effect in the classic description of electromagnetism, gives rise to a conceptual error which is at the bottom of many paradoxes and exceptions. At present, the curious fact that unipolar induction or the Faraday Disc constitutes an exception to the Faraday induction law is generally accepted. When we establish the correct cause and effect relationship a close connection appears between mechanics and electromagnetism, as does a new induction law for which paradoxes or exceptions do not occur. Some paradoxical experiments in unipolar induction involving the unique geo…

Induction and Mutually Obstructing Equilibria

A unified, consistent and simple view of the Faraday law of induction is presented, which consists of two points: discriminating the lab- from the rest-frame electric field and understanding it is the impossibility for both fields to vanish simultaneously, which generates and maintains the circular current. A number of illustrative examples are considered, including a mechano-electric pendulum to exhibit periodic and reversible conversion between electrical and mechanical energy.

A formal interpretation of the displacement current and the instantaneous formulation of Maxwell's equations

Maxwell's displacement current has been the subject of controversy for more than a century. Questions on whether the displacement current represents a true current like the conduction current and whether it produces a magnetic field have recently been discussed in the literature. Similar interpretations for the Faraday induction current have also been controversial. These basic questions are answered in this paper by considering the relation between the displacement and conduction currents as well as the relation between Faraday induction and conduction currents. It is pointed out that the dis…

Electromagnetic induction: physics, historical breakthroughs, epistemological issues and textbooks

The discovery of Electromagnetism by Oersted (1820) started an 'extraordinary decennium' ended by the discovery of electromagnetic induction by Faraday (1831). During this decennium, in several experiments, the electromagnetic induction was there, but it was not seen or recognized. Faraday built up a local theory of electromagnetic induction based on the idea that there is an induced current when there is an intersection between lines of magnetic force and a conductor in relative motion. In 1873, Maxwell, within a Lagrangian description of electric currents, wrote down a 'general law of electr…

The role of the virtual work in Faraday's law

In the context of Faraday's induction law, we show that the concept of virtual work provides another point of view to clarify the nature of the induced electric field, as well as the fact that the integral over a closed path of the induced electric field is not the work performed by a unit charge. The usefulness of the concept of virtual conservativity is discussed. Further, we study the relation between the electromotive force and the real work done by an external agent to keep a circuit at constant velocity. From this discussion it is observed that magnetic forces can be non-conservative fro…

A general law for electromagnetic induction

The definition of the induced $emf$ as the integral over a closed loop of the Lorentz force acting on a unit positive charge leads immediately to a general law for electromagnetic induction phenomena. The general law is applied to three significant cases: moving bar, Faraday's and Corbino's disc. This last application illustrates the contribution of the drift velocity of the charges to the induced $emf$: the magneto-resistance effect is obtained without using microscopic models of electrical conduction. Maxwell wrote down `general equations of electromotive intensity' that, integrated over a c…

Identification and acceptation of macroscopic magnetism energy levels results in better understanding of the linkages between the traditional theory with quantum electrodynamics and revelation of the limited validity of the Faraday's Law

In this article, we present the result of the research, which was directed to gaining electromotive voltage in a theoretically pure way. We designed and built a brushless generator that simulates a homogenised magnetic field and should theoretically be usable without semiconductors and electronic components. The generator is equipped with superconductive shielding, which ensures the disruption of the theoretical balance of electromotive voltage generation. In the Faraday homopolar generator, the imbalance of the electromotive voltage is secured by fixing the disk to the reference set of rotati…

How to get from static to dynamic electromagnetism

We demonstrate how to derive Maxwell's equations, including Faraday's law and Maxwell's correction to Ampère's law, by generalizing the description of static electromagnetism to dynamical situations. Thereby, Faraday's law is introduced as a consequence of the relativity principle rather than an experimental fact, in contrast to the historical course and common textbook presentations. As a by-product, this procedure yields explicit expressions for the infinitesimal Lorentz and, upon integration, the finite Lorentz transformation. The proposed approach helps to elucidate the relation between Ga…

Do Maxwell's equations need revision? - A methodological note

We propose a modification of Maxwell's macroscopic fundamental set of equations in vacuum in order to clarify Faraday's law of induction. Using this procedure, the Lorentz force is no longer separate from Maxwell's equations. The Lorentz transformations are shown to be related to the convective derivative, which is introduced in the electrodynamics of moving bodies. The new formulation is in complete agreement with the actual set of Maxwell's equations for bodies at rest, the only novel feature is a new kind of electromotive force. Heinrich Hertz was the first to propose a similar electrodynam…

Direct derivation of Lienard Wiechert potentials, Maxwell's equations and Lorentz force from Coulomb's law

In 19th century Maxwell derived Maxwell equations from the knowledge of three experimental physical laws: the Coulomb's law, the Ampere's force law and Faraday's law of induction. However, theoretical basis for Ampere's force law and Faraday's law remains unknown to this day. Furthermore, the Lorentz force is considered as experimental phenomena, the theoretical foundation of this force is still unknown. To answer these fundamental theoretical questions, we derive Lienard Wiechert potentials, Maxwell's equations and Lorentz force from two simple postulates: (a) when all charges are at rest the…
