About the Abraham force in a conducting medium

Classical Physics 2017-07-28 v1

Abstract

The article is devoted to the Abraham force in a conducting medium. From the energy-momentum tensor of the electromagnetic field interaction with moving charges the equation for the Abraham force is obtained. It is shown that the Abraham force in a conducting medium, as well as in a dielectric medium, has vortical character. Current density vectors and vector potential must be non-collinear
