The basic idea here is that the electromagnetic potentials [math]\phi[/math] and [math]A[/math] and their derivatives can be used to derive all electromagnetism.

Draft

The field experienced by a charge q' viewed at rest in a static electromagnetic field is:

[math]F_{rest,static} = - \nabla \varphi[/math]

The field experienced by a charge q' viewed at rest in a dynamic electromagnetic field is:

[math]F_{rest,dynamic} = - \nabla \varphi - ∂\mathbf{A}/∂t[/math]

The field experienced by a moving charge q' in a dynamic electromagnetic field is:

[math]F_{moving,dynamic} = - \nabla \varphi' - ∂\mathbf{A}'/∂t[/math]

Where:

  • [math]\varphi' = \varphi - \mathbf{v} \cdot A[/math] is the scalar potential experienced by the moving charge.
  • [math]∂A'/∂t = ∂\mathbf{A}/∂t + (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{A}[/math] is the partial time derivative of the magnetic vector potential experienced by the moving charge.

Substituting per the above, the field experienced by the moving charge q' is:

[math]F = - \nabla (\varphi-\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) - ∂\mathbf{A}/∂t - (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{A}[/math]

[math]F = - \nabla \varphi + \nabla (\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) - ∂\mathbf{A}/∂t - (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{A}[/math]

Using Feynman subscript notation:

[math]\nabla (\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) = \nabla_\mathbf{v}(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) + \nabla_\mathbf{A}(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A})[/math]

[math]\nabla_\mathbf{A}(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) = \mathbf{v} \times \nabla \times \mathbf{A} + (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{A}[/math]

[math]\nabla_\mathbf{v}(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) = \mathbf{A} \times \nabla \times \mathbf{v} + (\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v}[/math]

Substuting for the curl of the vector potential and the curl of the immediate velocity field for a moving charge, we have:

[math]\nabla_\mathbf{A}(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) = \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} + (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{A}[/math]

[math]\nabla_\mathbf{v}(\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{A}) = \mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v} + (\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v}[/math]

Where:

[math]B = \nabla \times \mathbf{A}[/math] is the magnetic field.

[math]\mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v} = \nabla \times \mathbf{v}[/math] is the angular rate of deflection.

Substituting per the above, the field experienced by the moving charge is:

[math]F = - \nabla \varphi - ∂\mathbf{A}/∂t + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} + (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{A} + \mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v} + (\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v} - (\mathbf{v} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{A}[/math]

[math]F = - \nabla \varphi - ∂\mathbf{A}/∂t + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v} + (\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v}[/math]

This field includes the field from Lorentz plus two additional terms:

[math]F = F_{Lorentz} + \mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v} + (\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v}[/math]

[math](\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v}[/math] is the dot product of the magnetic vector potential with the gradient of the velocity field.

For a velocity field defined in the immediate neighborhood of a moving charge q' at point p, where the local [math](\nabla_\mathbf{v} \mathbf{A})_p[/math] is a tangent vector on \mathbf{A} (the Lie derivative of [math]\mathbf{v}[/math] along [math]\mathbf{A}[/math]), the above is equivalent to:

[math](\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v} = |\mathbf{A}|(\nabla_\mathbf{v} \mathbf{A})_p = |\mathbf{a}_\mathbf{v}|\mathbf{a}/|\mathbf{v}|[/math]

Where a is the convective acceleration of the charge, which equals:

[math]a = (∂\mathbf{v}/∂x)|(∂\mathbf{x}/∂t)|[/math]

If the charge is taken as a point particle, the convective acceleration is the same as the acceleration.

[math]a = ∂²\mathbf{x}/∂t²[/math]

[math]\mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v}[/math] is the cross product of the magnetic vector potential and the angular rate of deflection.

[math]\mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v} = (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{a})/|\mathbf{v}|^2[/math]

When fields are static, the field experienced by a moving charge is:

[math]F_{moving,static} = - \nabla \varphi + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{ω}_\mathbf{v} + (\mathbf{A} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{v}[/math]

So for the case of static fields, the force on an accelerating charge is:

[math]F_{moving,static} = - \nabla \varphi + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{A} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{a})/|\mathbf{v}|^2 + |\mathbf{a}_\mathbf{v}|\mathbf{a}/|\mathbf{v}|[/math]

While the power on an accelerating charge q subject to a static field is:

[math]P_{moving,static} = q (- \nabla \varphi \cdot \mathbf{v} + (\mathbf{v} \times B) \cdot \mathbf{v} + \mathbf{A} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{a}) \cdot \mathbf{v}/|\mathbf{v}|^2 + (\mathbf{a} \cdot \mathbf{v})|\mathbf{a}_\mathbf{v}|/|\mathbf{v}|)[/math]

[math]P_{moving,static} = q (- \nabla \varphi \cdot \mathbf{v} + \mathbf{A} \times (\hat{\mathbf{v}} \times \mathbf{a}) \cdot \hat{\mathbf{v}} + \mathbf{a} \cdot A_\mathbf{v})[/math]

The force on a moving charge in a changing magnetic field becomes:

[math]F = - \nabla \varphi - ∂\mathbf{A}/∂t + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} + \mathbf{A} \times (\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{a})/|\mathbf{v}|^2 + |\mathbf{a}_\mathbf{v}|\mathbf{a}/|\mathbf{v}|[/math]
