Description for Relativistic Dynamics of a Charged Sphere: Updating the Lorentz-Abraham Model (Volume 686) hardcover. Presenting an examination of the classical model of the electron, this title covers topics such as the determination and elimination of the noncausal behavior in the original equation of motion, and the derivation of the binding forces and total stress-momentum-energy tensor for a charged insulator moving with arbitrary velocity. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 167 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 11. Weight in Grams: 421.

"This is a remarkable book. […] A fresh and novel approach to old problems and to their solution." –Fritz Rohrlich, Professor Emeritus of Physics, Syracuse University

 

This book takes a fresh, systematic approach to determining the equation of motion for the classical model of the electron introduced by Lorentz more than 100 years ago. The original derivations of Lorentz, Abraham, Poincaré and Schott are modified and generalized for the charged insulator model of the electron to obtain an equation of motion consistent with causal solutions to the Maxwell-Lorentz equations and the equations of special relativity. The solutions to the ... Read more

 

In this Second Edition, the method used for eliminating the noncausal pre-acceleration from the equation of motion has been generalized to eliminate pre-deceleration as well. The generalized method is applied to obtain the causal solution to the equation of motion of a charge accelerating in a uniform electric field for a finite time interval. Alternative derivations of the Landau-Lifshitz approximation are given as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for the Landau-Lifshitz approximation to be an accurate solution to the exact Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation of motion.

 

The book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in physics, engineering, and the history of science.
