Thomson's theorem states that static charge distributions in conductors only exist at the conducting surfaces in an equipotential configuration, yielding a minimal electrostatic energy. In this work we present a proof for this theorem based…
We consider the classical theory of a gravitational field with spin 2 and non-vanishing (Pauli-Fierz) mass in flat spacetime, coupled to electromagnetism and point particles. We establish the law of light propagation and calculate the…
Sudden avalanches of magnetic flux bursting into a superconducting sample undergo deflections of their trajectories when encountering a conductive layer deposited on top of the superconductor. Remarkably, in some cases flux is totally…
