The Lorentz force and the radiation pressure of light
In order to make plausible the idea that light exerts a pressure on matter, some introductory physics texts consider the force exerted by an electromagnetic wave on an electron. The argument as presented is both mathematically incorrect and has several serious conceptual difficulties without obvious resolution at the classical, yet alone introductory, level. We discuss these difficulties and pr...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Field Tensor and Lorentz Force as Consequence of the Geometry of Minkowskian Spacetime
It is a well known fact that the electromagnetic force acting on a charged particle cannot be obtained from Maxwell Equations having, ultimately, an empirical basis (at least from a classical standpoint). This problem have been around for many years, leaving the electromagnetic field (which we have always considered our better understood part of Physics) with an apparent, and rather curious, la...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Field Tensor and Lorentz Force as Consequence of the Geometry of Minkowskian Spacetime
We show that the electromagnetic field tensor and the Lorentz Force are both a natural consequence of the geometric structure of Minkowskian space, being related to infinitesimal boost and rotations in spacetime. The longstanding issue about the apparent empirical origin of the Lorentz Force is clarified.
متن کاملGravitational Lorentz Force
In quantum gauge theory of gravity, the gravitational field is represented by gravitational gauge field. The field strength of gravitational gauge field has both gravitoelectric component and gravitomagnetic component. In classical level, gauge theory of gravity gives out classical Newtonian gravitational interactions in a relativistic form. Besides, it gives out gravitational Lorentz force whi...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Tests of Lorentz and Cpt Symmetry
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in testing Lorentz and CPT symmetry. This is due to both theoretical developments as well as improved experimental capabilities. For example, it has been shown that string theory can lead to violations of CPT and Lorentz symmetry. This is because strings are nonpointlike and have nonlocal interactions. They can therefore evade the CPT theorem. ...
