Some remarks on classical electromagnetism and the principle of relativity

Umberto Bartocci, Marco Mamone Capria

Open publisher page 14 citations

Abstract

In connection with a note by Rindler on relativity and electromagnetism, it is shown that classically interpreted electromagnetism and special relativity already diverge in their predictions on the behavior of a very simple electrodynamical system, even for ‘‘low’’ velocities.
