Title: | Are Maxwell's equations Lorentz-covariant? | Authors: | Redžić, Dragan | Keywords: | Lorentz-covariance;Maxwells equations;Minkowski space;tensor;vector | Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2017 | Journal: | European Journal of Physics | Abstract: | It is stated in many textbooks that Maxwell's equations are manifestly covariant when written down in tensorial form. We recall that tensorial form of Maxwell's equations does not secure their tensorial contents; they become covariant by postulating certain transformation properties of field functions. That fact should be stressed when teaching about the covariance of Maxwell's equations. |
