The
applicable ranges of the principle of relativity were
reconsidered. There are magnetic field forces between
positive charge and negative charge in an electric doublet
which is moving in a laboratory reference frame, whereas,
analyzing the electric doublet with the same physical method
in a reference frame which is at rest relative to the
electric doublet, no magnetic field force exists between the
two charges. The results obtained in the two frames are
self-contradictory. Maxwell’s equations maintain the form
invariant under Lorentz transformation can not fully prove
that electromagnetism laws satisfy requirement of the
principle of relativity, because the form invariant are the
same as the expression for Doppler effect.
Key
words:
The principle of relativity, applicable range, inertial
reference frame, magnetic field force, Maxwell’s equations. |
