On the physical content of Maxwell's equations. Part 1

Abstract

On the basis of the analysis of the law of electromagnetic induction (EMI), proposed by Faraday in the verbal formulation, and its mathematical model, presented by Maxwell equation rotE = –∂B/∂t, it is shown:

1. The EMI law represented by the equation does not consider the fact, established by Faraday, that the phenomenon of EMI caused exclusively by relative movement of the charged particles and magnetic field;
2. Transformation of the electric fields in magnetic and magnetic contrary to electric does not occur when changing frames of reference;
3. The equation rotE = –∂B/∂t is incorrect;
4. On the role of the universal EMI law is best suited the magnetic component of the Lorentz force, if in the expression for the Lorentz force F = qv × B symbol of velocity v will denote the relative velocity of the charged particles and magnetic fields.
