Electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon from relativistic quark models
are analyzed: results from null-plane projection of the Feynman triangle
diagram are compared with a Bakamjian-Thomas model. The magnetic form factors
of the models differ by about 15% at spacelike momentum transfer 0.5 GeV^2,
while the charge form factors are much closer. Spurious contributions to
electromagnetic form factors due to violations of rotational symmetry are
eliminated from both models. One method changes magnetic form factors by about
10%, whereas the charge form factors stay nearly the same. Another one changes
the charge form factor of the Bakamjian-Thomas model by more than 50%.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, Late
