Electric and magnetic four-vectors in classical electrodynamics

Abstract

Following the pro('edure customarily used to define the four- spin, we define clectric and magnetic ficld four-\'ectors and use them to write Maxwell equations in a manifestly Lorentz covariant formo \Ve prove that these equations are physically equivalent to the standard co- variant formulation oCMaxwel1 <,quations. \Ve th('n 5how how to develop covariant electrodynamics from our set of equations.
