Is Maxwell's Distribution Law Applicable to High Speed Particles?

AI Thread Summary
Maxwell's Distribution Law is not applicable to particles moving at speeds close to the speed of light, such as protons and positrons. The law assumes a non-relativistic framework, represented by E = p^2/2m, which holds true for electrons and protons at reasonable temperatures. Even in extreme environments like the center of the sun, particle velocities remain non-relativistic. Relativistic effects only become significant at temperatures reaching billions of degrees Kelvin. Therefore, modifications to the Maxwell distribution are necessary under such high-energy conditions.

does maxwell distribution law of velocity of gas also applicable for very high speed near to speed of light? means can we apply this law to particles like proton, positron?

No, it assumes E = p^2/2m. But this is true even for electrons and protons as long as the temperature is reasonable. Even at the center of the sun the velocity of the electrons and protons is non-relativistic. You need to reach billions of degrees K before relativistic corrections come into play. At these temperatures the Maxwell distribution needs to be modified.
 
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...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
