Equivalence of two mathematical forms for the bound angular momentum of the electromagnetic field

Optics 2010-06-01 v3 Classical Physics

Abstract

It is shown that the mathematical form, obtained in a recent paper, for the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of electric charge is equivalent to another form obtained previously by Cohen-Tannoudji, Dupont-Roc and Gilbert. In this version of the paper an improved derivation is given.
