A Different Mathematical Perspective " On The Ponderomotive Forces Exerted On Bodies At Rest In The Electromagnetic Field" by A.Einstein and J.Laub(1908)

POSTER

Abstract

A.Einstein and J.Laub(1908) have stated that forces vanish at infinity. In this brief note, it is shown shown that forces do not have to vanish only at infinity. Indeed, they are annihilated because

R=-1/c∫Ωy(Sx+∂Ωy/∂z) df+(1/c∫ SxΩydf) which implies R=-1/c∫Ωy(∂Ωy/∂z)df-

1/c∫(SxΩydf)+1/c∫(SxΩydf)=-1/c(∫ ∂Ωy/∂z)df. Note that -Ωy∂Ωz/∂y has been transformed to

-1/cΩy{Sx+∂Ωy/∂z}, and divβ=0
