(L2)

or written in a different manner:

(L'2)

The values from (L'2) are to be included into (L'1). The differential equations for and with given coefficients, will follow. These equations have, as independent variables, the coordinates and the time .

Instead of them, we will introduce new variables by the equations

(L3)

Furthermore, we denote by the magnitude , as well as by and the operators, which formally correspond to and in the system of the new variables. Eventually, we define the two new vectors E and M by:

(L4)

from which it conversely follows due to (1)

(L'4)

Then it arises:

. (C')

From (C') the following can be derived: E and M are functions of , which contain and the translation velocity only in connection with:
