Charge quantisation without magnetic monopoles: a topological approach to electromagnetism | | Romero Solha
; | | Date: |
24 Jun 2014 | | Abstract: | The present work provides a theoretical explanation for the quantisation of
electric charges, an open problem since Millikan’s oil drop experiment in 1909.
This explanation is based solely on Maxwell’s theory, it recasts
Electromagnetic theory under the language of complex line bundles; therefore,
neither magnetic monopoles nor quantum mechanics are invoked. Essentially, the
existence of magnetic monopoles was the only theoretical explanation for charge
quantisation (e.g. Dirac’s monopole), and there is no experimental data
supporting their existence ---on the contrary, they have nerver been observed. | | Source: | arXiv, 1409.6716 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
