Some Remarks About Newton's Third Law and Special Relativity
Year: 1998
Keywords: Newton's Third Law, Special Relativity
A study is made of Amptre's Law and of Lorentz's force, F = q (E + v x B). The former complies with Newton's 3rd Law. The latter does not, but harmonizes with the Special Theory of Relativity. The implications of this conflicting theoretical situation are analyzed.
