Subject: [Phys-L] Charge invariance
Hello, all,
I reread the recent discussion (as of Aug. 28) of charge conservation and
realized that the close topic of charge invariance may be also relevant, see
Sec. 6.3 of my book "Special Relativity and How It Works". It shows some
pitfalls even in the simplest (albeit highly idealized) model of DC in a
single straight wire. That may be of interest when teaching the
corresponding issues in a graduate or advanced undergraduate course.
I will appreciate any comments and use them if it comes to the next
edition of the book.
