Abstract

The familiar relation between the potentials in electromagnetic theory is regarded as a consequence of the principles of angular momentum and center of mass expressed by the symmetry of the stress-energy tensor. The electromagnetic equations are derived from a Lagrangian function $L$ equal to an arbitrary function of the invariants $E^{2} - H^{2}$ and $E \cdot H$ of the electromagnetic field and rules different from that of Schrödinger are given for the construction of a stress-energy-tensor.
