Classical analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm effect
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: This work presents an analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm effect taking into account both regions where the electron is present and where it is excluded, and also the time variations of the magnetic vector potential and the magnetic induction field as they change between two of their stationary values. This analysis allows the identification of the electrical force field induced in the region where the electron is present by the time variation of the magnetic flux in the region where the electron is excluded, thus providing a classical explanation of the changes in the stationary properties of the electron when the magnetic potential and field change from one set of stationary values to another. Some apparent contradictions in attempts to interpret the A-B effect are also discussed and clarified.
