(a) Show that Maxwell’s equations with magnetic charge (Eq. 7.44) are invariant under the duality transformation
where is an arbitrary rotation angle in “E/B-space.” Charge and current densities transform in the same way as qe and qm.
particular, that if you know the fields produced by a configuration of electric charge, you can immediately (using α = 90˚) write down the fields produced by the corresponding arrangement of magnetic charge.]
(b) Show that the force law (Prob. 7.38)
is also invariant under the duality transformation.
Problem 7.38
Assuming that “Coulomb’s law” for magnetic charges (qm) reads
work out the force law for a monopole qm moving with velocity v through electric and magnetic fields E and B.26
