Homework Statement
Show that the 4-force law: F_u=q/c E_{uv}U^v leads to the usual Lorentz force law.
Homework Equations
F = E + v x B.
The Attempt at a Solution
What's U?
The discussion revolves around the relationship between the 4-force law and the Lorentz force law in the context of special relativity. Participants are attempting to connect these concepts and clarify the definitions involved.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the variables involved and expressing confusion about the lack of information in the original problem. No consensus has been reached yet.
There is a noted absence of definitions or explanations for the terms U and E_{uv}, which may hinder progress in understanding the problem.
