(5) Interpretation of Maxwell's equations

The standard Maxwell's equations are as follows :





Notes :Let be volume.



Maxwell's equations are shown as follows with substantial electric field; substantial electric field is obtained by dividing electric field by speed of light :





Note : When it is , these equations are expressed as
follows :




We make the operator of rotation exert on both
sides of the equation , and then we apply the
formula , and then
we use the equation and the equation as
follows :




We obtained this equation. It is a wave equation.
Owing to this equation, we find that electric field is
like a wave and it travels at the speed of light.


Maxwell's equations are shown as follows with system of units :






Notes :Let be volume.



Each equations means as follows :

'Four-dimensional space-time electric current' produces electric field on space points surrounding and makes electric field gush out from minute spaces surrounding. The volume of gushing electric field is proportional to 'four-dimensional space-time electric current' per unite volume. (The formula contains definition of Coulomb's force and Gauss' law.)

Even if there is what produces magnetic field, nothing of them can make magnetic field gush out. Therefore, we can not make a substance which has only monopole field.

Change of magnetic field produces electric field on space points surrounding. Produced electric field is not uniform. It produces force that makes imaginary mass of electron whirl. The magnitude of the force is proportional to the changing volume of the magnetic field, and the axis of rotation of whirl is opposite to the direction of change of a vector showing a mabnetic field. (The formula contains Faraday's law of induction.)

Change of electric field following time i.e. displacement current, produces magnetic field on space points surrounding. Produced magnetic field produces force that makes imaginary bunch of 'uniform space electric currents' turn. The magnitude of the force is proportional to the changing volume of the electric field, and axis of rotation of bunch is identical to the direction of change of a vector showing an electric field. (The formula contains Maxwell's law.)
'Relative space electric current' produces magnetic field on space points surrounding. Produced magnetic field produces force that makes imaginary bunch of 'uniform space electric currents' turn. The magnitude of the force is proportional to the magnitude of the 'relative space electric current', and axis of rotation of bunch is identical to the direction of 'relative space electric current.' (The formula contains Ampere's law.)



(6) Four-dimensional electromagnetic potential and basic equations of electomagnetics

Now, I show some theorems on the electromagnetic potential as follows :
The scalar potential is produced around electric charges.
It is called 'electric potential.'
The more far away from electric charges, the more electric
potential becomes small.
The electric field is the inclination of electric potential in the
direction of descending.
The vector potential is produced around 'relative space electric
current.'
I call it 'electric current potential.'
The more far away from 'relative space electric current', the more
'electric current potential' becomes small.
The magnetic field is the rotation of 'electric current potential.'
The potential combined electric potential with 'electric current
potential' is called 'four-dimensional electromagnetic potential
( ).'

Maxwell's equations are expressed with electric potential and electric current potential as follows :


That is,



That is,





Combining with , we obtain the following equality :

Laplacian ( ).

That is,





On the condition of , when obtained with the vector function and obtained with the scalar function of make the following equality be satisfied,

we say as follows :
The vector function and the scalar function are gauge transformations.

Let be an optional scalar function. There are the vector function and the scalar function as follows :


When we replace and with and respectively, and don't change as follows :

We use the formula : .



Therefore, and are gauge transformations.

Now, I explain why Maxwell's equations are shown as .
First, I show Maxwell's equations again as follows :




Let be 'electric current potential'. We suppose that the following equality is satisfied :
(Equality 22-12)
Then, we obtain the following equality owing to the equation :

This equality meets the theorem of vector analysis : .
And, there is the theorem of vector analysis as follows :
If it is , , which makes the equality : be satisfied, is sure to exist.
Therefore, we know (Equality 22-12) is equivalent to the equation .

Owing to the equality and (Equality 22-12), we obtain the following equation :

Therefore, owing to the formula : , we obtain the following equation :
(Equality 22-13)

Owing to the formula of electromagnetism ,we know that of (Equality 22-13) is electric potential. Then, we know as follows
Electric field is produced not only by gradient of electric potential but also by the change of 'electric current potential.'

I have described that 'the replacement of and of (Equality 22-12) and (Equality 22-13) with obtained with and obtained with , respectively' does not change and .

The Maxwell's equations and are described with and as follows :


(Equality 22-11)


(Equality 22-14)
We find the equation with the following method :





We find the equation with the following method :





If is equal to , the form of (Equality 22-11) comes to look like the form of (Equality 22-14).
So, let us think about .
It is .
We consider the four-dimensional vector .
Then, is shown as follows :

The four-dimensional vector is called 'four-dimensional electromagnetic potential.' It is a four-dimensional vector made up of vector potential of magnetic field and scalar potential of electric field.
We suppose that it is .
Then, 'Maxwell's equations expressed with electromagnetic potential' of (Equality 22-11) (Equality 22-14) is shown as follows :





We collect and into the following equation :

Provisos :


Now, let us find whether the hypothesis : has contradiction.
Owing to the basic equations of electromagnetics with non-spring four-dimensional electromagnetic potential : , we obtain the following equality :

(Equality 22-15)

Owing to the Maxwell's equation , we obtain the following equation :

Plugging the theorem: and the Maxwell's equation into this equation, we obtain the following equation :



Setting, this equation is expressed as follows :
(Equality 22-16)

This equation is generally called 'principle of conversation of charge.' I, however, call it 'law of non-spring four-dimensional amount of electric charge density.' Plus, I call 'four-dimensional amount of electric charge density.'
Plugging (Equality 22-16) into (Equality 22-15), we obtain the following equation :


Now, let us find whether the left-hand side of this equality is actually .

Firstly, we expand the left-hand side.












Secondly, we process componential labeled expression of basic equations of electromagnetics with non-spring electromagnetic potential :

Differentiating both sides of X-component with respect to , we obtain the following equation :




Differentiating both sides of Y-component with respect to , we obtain the following equation :


Differentiating both sides of Z-component with respect to , we obtain the following equation :


Differentiating both sides of T-component with respect to , we obtain the following equation :



we plug above-obtained four equations into the equation of .



We plug the following 'law of non-spring of four-dimensional amount of electric charge density' into the above-mentioned equation :
that is,

Then, we obtain the following equation:


That's why, the hypothesis : has no contradiction. Therefore, we accept this equation. This equation is called 'Lorenz condition' or 'Lorenz gauge.' I, however, call it 'condition of non-spring four-dimensional electromagnetic potential.'

Is there certainly the electromagnetic potential which meets the Lorenz condition? Is there certainly a combination of and which meets the Lorenz condition?
First, we suppose that it is .
Then, we gauge-transform a combination of and as follows :

Proviso : is an optional scalar function.
and never change.
Second, we find the diversion of four-dimensional electromagnetic potential made up of and as follows :



We can choose the function which makes the following equation be satisfied, because it is an optional function :

Then, certainly becomes .
That's why, we know that there is certainly the electromagnetic potential which meets the Lorenz condition.

'Basic equations of electromagnetics with non-spring electromagnetic potential' are constant regardless of Lorentz transformation, because Lorentz transformation was found so that Maxwell's equation is constant regardless of coordinate conversion.
In space in which no amount of electric charge exists, 'Basic equations of electromagnetics with non-spring four-dimensional electromagnetic potential' is a wave equation.



(7) The origin of complex number electromagnetic field tensor

I described that Maxwell's equations are expressed with four equations with scalar potential of electric field, i.e. electric potential ( ), and vector potential of magnetic field .
We think with the following two of these equalities; these two equalities correspond to [ Equation ] and [ Equation ] of Maxwell's equations :

Well, owing to (Equation 2273), we obtain the following equality :


Secondly, (Equation 2272) : is expressed as follows :


We set as follows :

Finally, we obtain as follows :

This type of the tensor is called antisymmetric tensor.

Seting , we finish the tensor. It is Complex number electromagnetic field tensor .

Now, we think about the 1st observer's coordinate system ; the 1st observer is traveling in the positive direction of the X-axis at a speed of . Maxwell's equations are also satisfied in the 1st observer's coordinate systemdue to the principle of relativity.
