Resumen de The linear and the angular momentum stored in a distribution of charges in a magnetic field (3 pages)

Gerardo Francisco Torres del Castillo

• We show that it is possible to define,e.g., thez-component of the linear momentum of the system formed by a charged particle and a magnetic field if and only if the magnetic field is invariant under translations along thez-axis. Similarly, it is possible to define the z-component of the angular momentum of the system formed by a charged particle and a magnetic field if and only if the magnetic field is invariant under rotations about the z-axis.
