03

Determine the value of curl term of electric field; magnetic field should get a gradient and a time derivative and Lorenz gauge of magnetic field and electrical field.

Before we add the magnetic charge, the fields are expressed in terms of potentials.

We anticipate that the formula should be entirely parallel when the magnetic charge is added, thus the electric field should receive a curl term and the magnetic field should receive a gradient and time derivative term:

Determine the curl term of electric field.

Substitute Vc for V, Aet×Am for At into equation (1).

E=VeAet×Am

Substitute VmAmt+ for and Aefor A into equation (2)

B=VmAmt+×Ae

To make the subsequent formulations more symmetric, the sign of the curl term in the electric field was selected. Since the partial time derivative on the right has units of EL/T=Eυ, while B has units of E/υ, the right equation is not dimensionally accurate because, if the left expression is accurate, then Am has units of EL, L is length. To remedy this, we multiply it by 1/c2 in order to make it dimensionally proper.

Therefore, the value of curl term of electric field is E=VeAet×Am and magnetic field should get a gradient and a time derivative is B=VmAmt+×Ae.

We now begin by substituting the potential formulation in equation 7.44. (Formula 7.44.iii) results in

Determine the Lorenz gauge of magnetic field.

Substitute 0 for Am+Vmtinto equation (3).

2Am=μ0Jm

Determine the Lorenz gauge of electrical field.

Substitute 0forAc+1c2Vet into equation (4).

2Ae=μ0Je

Therefore, the Lorenz gauge of magnetic and electrical field is 2Am=μ0Jm and 2Ae=μ0Je.

Determine the electrical scalar potentials is:

Vc=14πε0Vρe(r',tr)|r'r|dV'

Now, determine the electrical vector potentials is:

Ae=μ04πVJe(r',tr)|r'r|dV'

Determine the magnetic scalar potential is:

Vm=μ04πVρm(r',r)|r'r|dV'

Let's investigate. Attacking this with a Laplacian in the static case results in (because2(1/|r'r|)=4πδ(r'r)) , 2V=μ0ρm(r)which is merely (7.44.ii), making this look line.

Now, determine the magnetic vector potential is:

Am=μ04πVJm(r',tr)|r'r|dV'

This may be attacked with a Laplacian (in static case), and the result is2Am=μ0Jm , which is 2Am=μ0Jm in static case.
