Answer to Problem 15.105P

The matrix F=[0γ(B3βE2/c)γ(B2+βE3/c)E1/cγ(B3βE2/c)0B1γ(E2βcB3)cγ(B2+βE3/c)B10γ(E3+βcB2)cE1/cγ(E2βcB3)cγ(E3+βcB3)c0], and the transformation equations are verified.

Explanation of Solution

Write the matrix form of F.

    F=[0B3B2E1/cB30B1E2/cB2B10E3/cE1/cE2/cE3/c0]        (I)

Here, F is the four tensor.

Write the matrix form of standard Lorentz boost Λ.

    Λ=[γ00γβ01000010γβ00γ]        (II)

Here, Λ is the matrix form of standard Lorentz boost.

From the above equation Λ˜

    Λ˜=[γ00γβ01000010γβ00γ]        (III)

Since F=ΛFΛ˜, from equation (I), (II), and (III) the matrix representation of F is given as

    F=[γ00γβ01000010γβ00γ][0B3B2E1/cB30B1E2/cB2B10E3/cE1/cE2/cE3/c0][γ00γβ01000010γβ00γ]=[0+0+0γβE1/cγB3+0+0γβE2/cγB2+0+0γβE3/cγE1/c+0+0+00B3+0+00+0+0+00+B1+0+00E2/c+0+00+0+B2+00+0B1+00+0+0+00+0E3/c+00+0+0+γE1/cγβB3+0+0+γE2/cγβB2+0+0+γE3/cγβE1/c+0+0+0][γ00γβ01000010γβ00γ]=[γβE1/cγB3γβE2/cγB2γβE3/cγE1/cB30B1E2/cB2B10E3/cγE1/cγβB3+γE2/cγβB2+γE3/cγβE1/c][γ00γβ01000010γβ00γ]

The above equation can be written as

    F=[γ2βE1/c+0+0+γ2βE1/c0+γB3γβE2/c+0+00+0γB2γβE3/c+0γ2β2E1/c+0+0γ2E1/cγB3+0+0+γβE2/c0+0+0+00+0+B1+0γβB3+0+0γE2/cγB1+0+0+γβE3/c0B1+0+00+0+0+0γβB2+0+0γE3/cγ2E1/c+0+0γ2β2E1/c0γβB3+γE2/c+0+00+0+γβ2+γE3/c+0γ2βE1/c+0+0γ2βE1/c]=[0γ(B3βE2/c)γ(B2βE3/c)γ2(β21)E1/cγ(B3+βE2/c)0B1γ(βB3E2/c)γ(B2+βE3/c)B10γ(βB2E3/c)γ2(1β2)E1/cγ(βB3+E2/c)γ(βB2+E3/c)0]        (IV)

The above can be also written as

    F=[0B3B2E1/cB30B1E2/cB2B10E3/cE1/cE2/cE3/c0]        (V)

By comparing (IV) and (V), write the expression for B3.

    B3=γ(B3βE2/c)        (VI)

By comparing (IV) and (V), write the expression for B2.

    B2=γ(B2+βE3/c)B2=γ(B2+βE3/c)        (VII)

By comparing (IV) and (V), write the expression for B1.

    B1=B1        (VIII)

By comparing (IV) and (V), write the expression for E1.

    E1/c=E/cE1=E1        (IX)

By comparing (IV) and (V), write the expression for E2.

    E2/c=γ(E2βcB3)E2=γ(E2βcB3)        (X)

By comparing (IV) and (V), write the expression for E3.

    E3/c=γ(E3+βcB2)E3=γ(E3+βcB2)        (XI)

The results obtained in equation (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), and (X) is same as the transformation equation in Equation (15-146).

Conclusion:

Therefore, the matrix F is derived as

F=[0γ(B3βE2/c)γ(B2+βE3/c)E1/cγ(B3βE2/c)0B1γ(E2βcB3)cγ(B2+βE3/c)B10γ(E3+βcB2)cE1/cγ(E2βcB3)cγ(E3+βcB3)c0], and the transformation equations are verified.
