Abstract

Extension of Maxwell's electrodynamics of media at rest to moving bodies is hampered by a basic difficulty: how to determine the excitation sources and the fields inside a body which is moving relative to the laboratory where the measurements are performed. In this paper various approaches are analyzed and interpreted from a point of view not previously emphasized, i.e., theoretical results are directly related to the Rontgen-Eichenwald experiments and to the phenomenon of unipolar induction. Practical difficulties associated with possible processes of measurement are pointed out.
