Can I alter the quanta of magnetic flux using length contraction of the source creating the B field. Like for example could I get half of the flux by moving relative to the B field. Or some other fraction of it. The unit of flux is like \frac{h}{2e}
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The magnetic flux is actually a scalar quantity which doesn't change from Lorentz boosts. This is because while the magnetic field changes, the area also changes in exactly compensating ways.
 
ok interesting, what about the Planck length
 
What about it? It's just a unit of measurement, like the meter. It doesn't really mean anything special except we expect that at those lengths (i.e. order of magnitude near the Planck length), space-time might look different.
 
If there is a minimum length, then i could just move by it a speed and length contract it.
Or maybe this doesn't matter.

1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...
