This article builds on the previous discussion of four-dimensional vectors and spacetime transformations, focusing on the four-dimensional representation of electromagnetic laws.
Key points include:
1. **Four-Dimensional Charge**: Electric charge is identified as a four-dimensional scalar, with the four-current density vector expressed as \( j_p = (j_x, j_y, j_z, ic\rho) \).
2. **Lorenz Condition**: The Lorenz condition is formulated as \( \nabla \cdot A + \frac{1}{c^2} \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} = 0 \), leading to the expression \( \partial_\mu A_\mu = 0 \).
3. **D'Alembert Equation**: The D'Alembert equation relates the electromagnetic potentials and currents, resulting in the four-dimensional wave operator \( \square A_\mu = -\mu_0 J_\mu \).
4. **Electromagnetic Field Tensor**: The electromagnetic field tensor is constructed from the potentials, allowing for transformations under Lorentz transformations, yielding modified electric and magnetic fields.
5. **Maxwell's Equations**: These equations describe the behavior of electric and magnetic fields, with the relationship \( \partial_\nu F_{\mu\nu} = \mu_0 J_\mu \) leading to the conservation law \( \partial_\lambda F_{\mu\nu} + \partial_\mu F_{\nu\lambda} + \partial_\nu F_{\lambda\mu} = 0 \).
6. **Electromagnetic Force Density**: The article discusses the need for a four-dimensional vector for electromagnetic force to ensure covariance under Lorentz transformations, leading to the expression for four-dimensional momentum and force.
In conclusion, the article emphasizes the importance of four-dimensional representations in understanding electromagnetic phenomena in the context of special relativity.
