Note 1.

The fundamental electro-magnetic equations of Maxwell for stationary

media are:—

curl H = 1/_c_ (∂D/∂_t_ + ρν) (1)

curl E = -1/_c_ ∂B/∂_t_ (2)

div D = ρ

B = μH

div B = 0

D = kE

According to Hertz and Heaviside, these require modification in the case

of moving bodies.

Now it is known that due to motion alone there is a change in a vector

_R_ given by

(∂_R_/∂_t_) due to motion = _u_. div R + curl [_Ru_]

where _u_ is the vector velocity of the moving body and [R_u_] the

vector product of R and _u_.
