    The Proof that the Standard Transformations of E and B are not the Lorentz Transformations. Clifford Algebra Formalism

    Full text link
    In this paper it is exactly proved by using the Clifford algebra formalism that the standard transformations of the three-dimensional (3D) vectors of the electric and magnetic fields E and B are not the Lorentz transformations of well-defined quantities from the 4D spacetime but the 'apparent' transformations of the 3D quantities. Thence the usual Maxwell equations with the 3D E and B are not in agreement with special relativity. The 1-vectors E and B, as well-defined 4D quantities, are introduced instead of ill-defined 3D E and B.Comment: 16 pages, section 3.3. is added and it contains the same proof for Hestenes' and Jancewicz's E and
