Physical intuition and time-dependent generalization of the Coulomb and Biot-Savart laws
Abstract
Description
An analysis is performed of the role played by physical intuition in expressing the electromagnetic field in terms of its sources in the time-dependent case. The conclusion is that it is dangerous to dissociate physical intuition from the mathematical description of the phenomena.
