How we can check maxwell equations are covariant?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion emphasizes the significance of the covariance principle in physics, particularly in relation to Maxwell's equations. It highlights that before the advent of Lorentz transformations and special relativity, verifying the covariance of Maxwell's equations is not feasible. The conversation suggests that a manifestly covariant form of these equations can be utilized for this purpose. It concludes that the development of special relativity was essential for establishing the covariance of these equations. Understanding this relationship is crucial for comprehending the foundations of modern physics.

every people know that covariance principle is important in physics.

before Lorentz transformations and special relativity, how we can check covariance principle about Maxwell 's equations?

You can't check covariance "before Lorentz transformations and special relativity".
That is why SR was proposed.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
