Electromagnetics

Lorentz force

• almost all forces in mechanics are conservative forces, those that are functions only of positions, and certainly not functions of velocities
• Lorentz force is a rare example of velocity dependent force

 

 

polarization of light

• has two possibilites
  
  • what does this mean?

Lagrangian formulation

• Lagrangian for a charged particle in an electromagnetic field
  \(L=T-V\)
  \(L(q,\dot{q})=m||\dot{q}||-e\phi+eA_{i}\dot{q}^{i}\)
  
• action
  \(S=-\frac{1}{4}\int F^{\alpha\beta}F_{\alpha\beta}\,d^{4}x\)
  
• Euler-Lagrange equations
  \(p_{i}=\frac{\partial{L}}{\partial{\dot{q}^{i}}}=m\frac{\dot{q}_{i}}{||\dot{q}_{i}||}+eA_{i}=mv_{i}+eA_{i}\)
  \(F_{i}=\frac{\partial{L}}{\partial{{q}^{i}}}=\frac{\partial}{\partial{{q}^{i}}}(eA_{j}\dot{q}^{j})=e\frac{\partial{A_{j}}}{\partial{q}^{i}}\dot{q}^{j}}}\)
  
• equation of motion
  \(\dot{p}=F\) Therefore we get
  \(m\frac{dv_{i}}{dt}=eF_{ij}\dot{q}^{j}\). This is what we call the Lorentz force law.
  
• force on a particle is same as \(e\mathbf{E}+e\mathbf{v}\times \mathbf{B}\)

• path integral
  

 

 

Hamiltonian formulation

• total energy of a charge particle in an electromagnetic field
  \(E=\frac{1}{2m}(p_j-eA_{j})(p_j-eA_j)+q\phi\)
  
• replace the momentum with the canonical momentum
  
  • similar to covariant derivative
    

 

 

force on a particle

• force on a particle is same as \(e\mathbf{E}+e\mathbf{v}\times \mathbf{B}\)

 

 

 

gauge transformation

• For any scalar field \(\Lambda(x,y,z,t)\), the following transformation does not change any physical quantity
  \(\mathbf{A} \to \mathbf{A} +\del \Lambda\)
  \(\phi\to \phi-\frac{\partial\Lambda}{\partial t}\)
  
• unchanged quantities
  \(\mathbf{B}=\nabla \times \mathbf{A}\)
  \(\mathbf{E}=-\frac{\partial\mathbf{A}}{\partial t} - \nabla \phi \)
  

• the electromagnetic potential is a connection on a U(1)-bundle on spacetime whose curvature is the electromagnetic field
  
• the electromagnetism is a gauge field theory with structure group U(1)
