关于麦克斯韦方程组的不带电解与电中性解的区别

On the difference between the charge-free and the charge-neutral solutions of Maxwell equations

Andrew E. Chubykalo, Hector A. Munera, Roman Smirnov-Rueda

摘要:

通常认为,对于\varrho =0(电荷密度)的所谓“自由”麦克斯韦方程组的解描述了空的空间中的自由电磁场(如果将自由场视为场,则其通量线既不以电荷开始也不以电荷结束)。我们考虑了三种类型的区域:(i)“孤立的无电荷”区域(其中由该特定区域外的电荷产生的所有电场为零),例如,在任何形状的中空导体内或在自由电荷宇宙中;(二)"非隔离无电荷”区(其中由该特定区域外的电荷产生的所有电场不为零)和(iii)“电荷中性”区域(其中存在点电荷但它们的代数和为零)。本文指出,存在两类解:(1)在“孤立的无电荷”区域,麦克斯韦方程组中不存在自由电场,但可能存在与时间无关的背景磁场。(2)在均匀条件\varrho =0的“电荷中性”和“非隔离无电荷”区域中,电场的麦克斯韦方程具有非零解,如传统观点所示,但该解不是自由场。我们提到一些有关自由电磁场和最简单的电荷中性宇宙的影响。

英文摘要:

It is conventionally believed that solutions of so called "free" Maxwell equations for \varrho=0 (density of charge) describe the free electromagnetic field in empty space (if one considers the free field as a field, whose flux lines neither begin nor end in a charge). We consider three types of regions: (i) "isolated charge-free" region (where all electric fields, generated by charges outside that particular region, are zero), for example, inside a hollow conductor of any shape or in a free-charge Universe; (ii) ``non-isolated charge-free" region (where all electric fields, generated by charges outside that particular region, are not zero) and (iii) "charge-neutral" region (where point charges exist but their algebraic sum is zero). The paper notes that there are two families of solutions: (1) In "isolated charge-free" regions electric free field does not exist in the context of Maxwell's equations, but there may exist a time-independent background magnetic field. (2) In both "charge-neutral" and "non-isolated charge-free" regions where the homogeneous condition \varrho=0 also holds, Maxwell's equation for electric field have non-zero solution, as in the conventional view, but this solution is not free field. We mention some implications related to free-electromagnetic fields and the simplest charge-neutral universe.
