Re: Charged spinning disks

Sue your link didn't work. This is close enough however.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zitterbewegung

And now that you brought this up, I might mention that this is
actually a necessary conclusion of Weber's electrodynamics, and is in
fact central to all of my arguments posted in this thread. I've not
called this motion by the name Zitterbewegung, I've called it by the
name Brownian motion, and described it as due to the zpf fluctuations,
and as random motions, and as relative motions. By any name however it
is referring to the fact that the electrons constituting a macroscopic
test charge are in continuous motion wrt each other, so that no
inertial frame of reference can be at rest wrt every electron in the
test charge simultaneously. There is thus a weber force between any
two of those electrons and thus the forces measured by Coulomb himself
were in fact Weber forces, which are dynamic, rather than static
forces between charges at rest wrt each other. It is this motion of
the electrons that produces the Coulomb force, as a special case of
Webers force for "macroscopic" charges at rest, i.e. for Coulomb's
test charges.

It is precisely for this reason that Purcell's relativistic arguments
are incorrect. This doesn't mean that the math fails, but rather it is
only his interpretation of it that fails.
