论文摘要
本文包含电磁理论的摘要以及对惯性框架之间的转换的回顾,尤其是在低速限制下。麦克斯韦方程的协变性是使用传统语言来解释的。我们表明,即使在低速限制下,相对论效应也不应忽略以获得电磁场的自洽理论,除非完全省略了这些磁场的内在动力学。还审查了相对论效应的准静态限制,以阐明在有移动媒体和其他相关情况下对理论的一些常见误解和对理论的不精确使用。本文提出的讨论清楚地表明了为什么经典电磁理论本质上是相对论的。
This article contains a digest of the theory of electromagnetism and a review of the transformation between inertial frames, especially under low speed limits. The covariant nature of the Maxwell's equations is explained using the conventional language. We show that even under low speed limits, the relativistic effects should not be neglected to get a self-consistent theory of the electromagnetic fields, unless the intrinsic dynamics of these fields has been omitted completely. The quasi-static limits, where the relativistic effects can be partly neglected are also reviewed, to clarify some common misunderstandings and imprecise use of the theory in presence of moving media and other related situations. The discussion presented in this paper provide a clear view of why classical electromagnetic theory is relativistic in its essence.
