XVII 283 FUNDAMENTAL EQUATIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETICS corrected L, and form the similarly corrected components M₂, N.; then these forces may be represented by the system L₂ = AǝV₂2 LA aw Əz dy M, A = дх Əz 2√2+ + дх dy aw 2 = 0 (5), ละ N₂ = A A(?U, –?Z), where we have put = 1 1 U, - U₁ — — A' dŪ,, V, - v, —— A² de v₁, 4π dt2 2 W₂ = W₁ 1 1, - = 1 d2 - A2 4π dt2 A2 W, . 4π dt2 1. 1, From what precedes we may at once conclude that the electro- motive forces produced by a variation of the current-system no longer have exactly the form (2), but have these corrected values 40, 2 X2 = - A2 > dt 12 = - - A² dV, dt 2 Z2 = - - A2 dW2 dt (6). Exactly similar reasoning compels us to correct the actions of magnetic systems presented by the equations (3) and (4). The results may be represented by the following sample equations X₂ = A etc. (7), dy Əz L₂ = — A² - etc. (8), dt P₂ = P₁ where - 1 d2 A2 P₁, etc. 4π dt2 If we wish to represent the forces by which the corrected equations (5) and (7) differ from the usually accepted ones (1)
