New perspectives on classical electromagnetism

Classical Physics 2014-11-21 v4

Abstract

The fallacies associated with the gauge concept in electromagnetism are illustrated. A clearer and more valid formulation of the basics of classical electromagnetism is provided by recognizing existing physical constraints as well as the physical reality of the vector potential.
