So here is an example of what I am trying to do.
We know that div of an E field=p/eo
where p=charge density and eo=the permittivity of free space. This equation is expressed in MKSA units. In order to convert this into Gaussian units, we must multiply E by 1/sqare root of 4*pi*eo, and...
Consider a spherical volume of radius R filled with a uniform electric charge density p(rowe)
a) Use Gauss' law to calculate the electric field E in the interior of the spherical charge
b) Use the expression for the electric field to derive an expression for the Maxwell stress tensor...
This thread is the sequel to my other thread, 'Quaternions and SR'.
My goal is to write some physical equations with quaternions.
Because I think quaternions represent the 4-dimensionality and metric used in special relativity. See:
A quaternion is a generalized complex number:
A = a_t +...
[SOLVED] Maxwell Equations: What are all the assumptions used in derivation?
I am trying to refute some of the theories of Tesla which are based on his idea that electromagnetic energy is also transmitted via a longitudinal wave. As far as I know Maxwell's equations do not support a...
From Matter and Motion by James Clerk Maxwell, Article 59,
"Let us define a mass-vector as the operation of carrying a given mass from the origin to the given point. The direction of the mass-vector is the same as that of the vector of the mass, but its magnitude is the product of the mass...
