Abstract

By using simple concepts of special relativity and the differential representations of the Faraday and Ampère–Maxwell laws, we deduce their Gelman–Monsivais integral representation. The relativistic transformation laws of the electromagnetic field are also obtained without using tensorial analysis or covariant concepts.

Keywords: Special relativity; Maxwell equations; integral representation.

 

Resumen

Usando conceptos simples de la relatividad especial y las representaciones diferenciales de las ecuaciones de Faraday y Ampère–Maxwell, se deducen las representaciones integrales de Gelman–Monsivais de estas ultimas. Se obtienen al mismo tiempo las leyes de las transformaciones relativistas del campo electromagnético sin utilizar análisis tensorial o conceptos covariantes.

Descriptores: Relatividad especial; ecuaciones de Maxwell; representación integral.
