He derived the Lorentz transformation of the special theory of relativity, as well as the Lorentz force, which describes the force acting on a charged particle in an electromagnetic field.

Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was a Dutch physicist and joint winner (with Pieter Zeeman) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1902 for his theory of electromagnetic radiation, which, confirmed by findings of …

The resulting formula, proposed almost simultaneously by the Danish physicist Lorenz, has become known as the Lorenz-Lorentz formula. Lorentz also made fundamental contributions to the study of …

Jul 23, 2025 · The Lorentz force is central to Maxwell's equations, which describe how electric and magnetic fields propagate and interact with matter. It highlights the interconnected nature of …

Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (July 18, 1853, Arnhem – February 4, 1928, Haarlem) was a Dutch physicist who ushered in the era of relativity by developing the ideas behind what became known as the …

Feb 4, 2025 · Lorentz was one of the very early apostles of James Clerk Maxwell, his mathematical formulation of electromagnetism, and his prediction of electromagnetic waves.

Dec 2, 2015 · Lorentz took James Maxwell's equations for a macroscopic phenomena and applied it to microscopic phenomena. Lorentz used the equations to conceive an expression for the force that a …
