How can I find the transformation that ties E,B,E',B'? Any reference
that you can suggest? Thank you.
Look up the Faraday two-form (its dual is called the Maxwell 2-form or
tensor). Its components, when projected onto an inertial frame, consist
of the 3-vector components of E and B:
[ 0 -Ex -Ey -Ez]
F = [ Ex 0 Bz -By]
[ Ey -Bz 0 Bx]
[ Ez By -Bx 0 ]
Thank you, I know all this, I even wrote the transform in its
vectorial form. I asked something different, how does all this FURTHER
transform when frames S and S' are ROTATING with a constant angular
speed?
Express x and y as a function of time then express Faraday's
components in that coordinate system.
Usehttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/RotationMatrix.htmlasa guide for
x(t) and y(t).
Thank you,
What I put down is the following :
a. In S
x=r*cos(theta)
y=r*sin(theta)
b. In S'
x'=r'*cos(theta')
y'=r'*sin(theta')
r'=gamma*(r-vt) (because S and S' move with relative speed v along
the common x-axis)
theta'=theta (because the axes of the two frames have aligned x
and y axis)
theta=w*t
theta'=w'*t'
t'=gamma(t-vx/c^2)
So:
x'=gamma (r-vt)*cos(theta')= gamma (r-vt)*cos(theta)=gamma (x-
vt*cos(theta))
y'=gamma (y-vt*sin(theta))
resulting into:
x'=gamma (x-vt*cos(wt))
y'=gamma (y-vt*sin(wt))
z'=z
t'=gamma(t-vx/c^2)
With the above, we can calculate:
dE/dt=dE/dx'*dx'/dt+dE/dy'*dy'/dt+dE/dz'*dz'/dt+dE/dt'*dt'/dt=
Does this look right?
You must be quite a dumb writing such of that.
Please correct your mistakes and your misunderstandings immediately
