GENERAL EXPRESSION OF THE ACTION INTEGRAL IN ELECTRODYNAMICS

Authors

  • Gy. Tevan

Abstract

The expression of the action integral is given in the paper for general media. Hence, Maxwell equations can be derived from a variational principle in this general case, too. The author shows invariance with respect to Lorentz transformation by rewriting the action integral in a four-dimensional form.
