Howell - comparisons for dp[dt_BTodv(POIo,t)].odt www.BillHowell.ca 30Mar2018 initial draft Summary : Table of Contents From Lucas (4-16), sub-sub-section above : 3) dp[dt : BTpdv(POIo(t),t)] = dp[dt : BTodv(POIo,t)] = Vons(particle)^2/c*sin(AOpc(POIo(t)))*cos(AOpc(POIo(t)))*Rodh(Vonv_X_Rpcv(POIo)) *{ 3*Q(particle) /Rpcs(POIo(t))^3 *RO0ocs(POIo)/RO0pcs(POI,t) - dp[dt : EIpds(POIo(t))]/Vons(particle)/cos(AOpc(POIo(t))) } Howell's expression Section "dp[dt : BTodv(POIo,t)] = dp[dt : BTpdv(POIo(t),t)] subbing for Lenz's Law : 2) dp[dt : BTpdv(POIo(t),t)] = dp[dt : BTodv(POIo,t)] = Vons(particle)^2/c*sin(AOpc(POIo(t)))^2*cos(AOpc(POIo(t)))*Rodh(Vonv_X_Rpcv(POIo)) *{ 3*Q(particle) /Rpcs(POIo(t))^3 *[1 + lambda(v)/3] - dp[dt : EIpds(POIo(t))]/Vons(particle)/cos(AOpc(POIo(t))) } These are "somewhat similar". However, there are very important differences, as highlighted above. As for the causes of the discrepancies, that is not fully clear : • As per above "... While the factor of 3 IS EXPLAINED, this is NOT the same as (3) in the sub-sub-section immediately above, as I have in (6)* an extra term for dp[dt : E0] at right angles to Rodh(Vonv_X_Rpcv(POIo)), due to angular changes. ..." • perhaps there is also a difference between point-particle and finite-sized derivations, as I have not yet done the latter? But this is not obvious from Lucas' book. +--+ This is NOT the same result for dp[dt : BTpdv(POIo(t),t)] as Lucas p68h0.0 Equation (4-16) : (4-16) dp(dt : Bi(ro - vo*t,t)) = vos/c*ros*sinOo*Pph *[ 3*q*vos/c*(ros*cosOo - vos*t)/|ro - vo*t|^5 + 1/ros/c*dp(dt : |Ei(ro - vo*t,t)|) ] = vos/c*sinOo*Pph* [ 3*q*vos/c*(ros*cosOo - vos*t)/|ro - vo*t|^4 + 1/c*dp(dt : |Ei(ro - vo*t,t)|) ] It seems clear to me that Lucas has : - dropped the term "Vons(particle)*cos(AOpc(POIo(t)))*EIpds(POIo(t))/Rpcs(POIo(t))". But there should be an EIpds(POIo(t)) term! - has too many "c"'s - has the term "(ros*cosOo - vos*t)/|ro - vo*t|" in the first term in parenthesis. - I have NO real idea of why the (ros*cosOo - vos*t) pops up anyways, and why the cos term all of a suddden (spherical coords does not explain this!) If I replace "(ros*cosOo - vos*t)/|ro - vo*t|" with "1", and remove the extra "c"s, and used my nomenclature, then Lucas's expression becomes : (4-16)Mod dp(dt : Bi(ro - vo*t,t)) = Vons(particle)/c*sin(AOpc(POIo(t)))*Rodh(Vonv_X_Rpcv(POIo)) *[ 3*Q(particle)*Vons(particle)/Rpcs(POIo(t))^3 + dp[dt : EIpds(POIo(t))] ] This is still wrong, as it is missing my term "Vons(particle) *cos(AOpc(POIo(t)))*EIpds(POIo(t))/Rpcs(POIo(t))". enddoc
