Lorentz Force for [math](q,q')[/math]
The Lorentz Force between charges [math](q,q')[/math] can be derived from the scalar potential [math]\varphi[/math] and the vector potential [math]\mathbf{A}[/math].
A charge [math]q[/math] which has a velocity of [math]\mathbf{v}[/math] at [math]\left(\mathbf{r},t\right)[/math] will experience a Lorentz force due to a point charge [math]q'[/math] at [math]\left(\mathbf{r'},t'\right)[/math] of:
- [math]\mathbf{F} \quad = \quad q\left[\mathbf{E} + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}\right][/math]
The electric field [math]\mathbf{E}[/math] is:
- [math]\mathbf{E} \quad = \quad - \nabla \varphi - \frac{∂\mathbf{A}}{∂t}[/math]
The magnetic field [math]\mathbf{B}[/math] is:
- [math]\mathbf{B} \quad = \quad \nabla \times \mathbf{A}[/math]
The Lorentz Force can be expressed directly in terms of the potentials:
- [math]\mathbf{F} \quad = \quad q\left[- \nabla \varphi - \frac{∂\mathbf{A}}{∂t} + \mathbf{v} \times \left( \nabla \times \mathbf{A} \right)\right][/math]
Where:
- [math]-\nabla \varphi[/math] = negative the gradient of the scalar potential [math]\varphi[/math].
- [math]-\frac{∂\mathbf{A}}{∂t}[/math] = negative the partial derivative of the magnetic vector potential [math]\mathbf{A}[/math] with respect to time [math]t[/math].
- [math]\mathbf{v} \times \left( \nabla \times \mathbf{A} \right)[/math] = the cross product of the velocity [math]\mathbf{v}[/math] of the charge [math]q[/math] and the curl of the magnetic vector potential [math]\nabla \times \mathbf{A} = \mathbf{B}[/math] due to charge [math]q'[/math].
To restate from a previous section, the magnetic vector potential of a charge [math]q[/math] experienced by a charge [math]q[/math] is:
[math]\mathbf{A}\left(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'}\right) \quad = \quad \underset{constant}{\frac{\mu_0\ q'}{4\pi}} \quad \underset{proximity}{\frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|}} \quad \underset{dislocation}{\frac{∂\mathbf{r'}}{∂t}}[/math]
The partial derivative of this with respect to time [math]t[/math] is:
[math]\frac{∂\mathbf{A}\left(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'}\right)}{∂t} \quad = \quad \underset{constant}{\frac{\mu_0\ q'}{4\pi}} \left[ \underset{proximity}{ \frac{ ∂\left[ \frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|} \right] }{∂t}} \quad \underset{dislocation}{\frac{∂\mathbf{r'}}{∂t}} + \underset{proximity}{\frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|}} \quad \underset{dislocation}{ \frac{ ∂\left[ \frac{∂\mathbf{r'}}{∂t} \right] }{∂t}} \right][/math]
[math]\frac{∂\mathbf{A}\left(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{r'}\right)}{∂t} \quad = \quad \underset{constant}{\frac{\mu_0\ q'}{4\pi}} \left[ \underset{proximity}{ \frac{ ∂\left[ \frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|} \right] }{∂t}} \quad \underset{dislocation}{\frac{∂\mathbf{r'}}{∂t}} + \underset{proximity}{\frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|}} \quad \underset{dislocation}{ \frac{∂^2r'}{∂t^2} } \right][/math]
Where:
- [math]\frac{∂r'}{∂t}[/math] = the velocity of [math]q'[/math] at the retarded time [math]t'[/math] according to an observer at time [math]t[/math] sharing the same inertial frame as [math]q[/math].
- [math]\frac{∂^2r'}{∂t^2}[/math] = the acceleration of [math]q'[/math] at the retarded time [math]t'[/math] according to an observer at time [math]t[/math] sharing the same inertial frame as [math]q[/math].
- [math]\frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|}[/math] = the proximity of the position [math]r[/math] of [math]q[/math] at time [math]t[/math] to the position [math]r'[/math] of [math]q'[/math] at the retarded time [math]t'[/math] (i.e. the inverse of the norm of the vector difference between the two position vectors [math]r[/math] and [math]r'[/math]).
- [math]\frac{ ∂\left[ \frac{1}{|\mathbf{r}-\mathbf{r'}|} \right] }{∂t}[/math] = the partial derivative of this proximity with respect to time [math]t[/math].
