Lorentz Physlet
The Lorentz Physlet displays the electic and magnetic fields of a point charge moving at constant velocity in the x direction.
Lorentz Force
This java applet gives a practical demonstration of lorentz force when a charge q is applied to a magnetic field.
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz
A text heavy site on the life and work of Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853 - 1918).
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853 - 1918) aimed to extend Maxwell's theory of electricity and of light. Already in his doctor's thesis, he treated the reflection and refraction phenomena of light from ...
Lorentz Force Law
Both the electric field and magnetic field can be defined from the Lorentz force law. The electric force is straightforward, being in the direction of the electric field if the charge q is positive, ...
Lorentz Transformation
A summary page covering time dilation and length contraction.
Time Dilation
A clock in a moving frame will be seen to be running slow, or "dilated" according to the Lorentz transformation.
Deriving Inter Kinematic Relations for Accel-ID
A brief but detailed article looking at special relativity by using 'proper acceleration' to eliminate the need to start with Lorentz Transformations.
The End of My Latin
Kaufmann's experimental results on deflection of electrons in an electromagnetic field favoured Abraham's theory, not Einstein and Lorentz, but were eventually proved wrong.
Minkowski Applet
Java applet showing the Lorentz transformation on a co-ordinate system.
