14Electromagnetics of Moving Media: Uniform Motion
14.1Introduction
The key work in the study of electromagnetics of moving media is the Lorentz transformation (LT) law. Under these transformation laws, Maxwell’s equation has the same form in two reference frames moving with respect to each other with a uniform velocity v0. The velocity of light in free space remains the same value c = 3 × 108 m/s irrespective of the velocity of the observer measuring the velocity of light. The postulate of special velocity that the physical laws are form invariant among uniformly moving observers is consistent with LTs. A vast amount of literature is available, out of which the author has selected [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21
