Abstract
AbstractWe present a detailed derivation of the electromagnetic force density and pressure in linear dielectric media according to the so-called microscopic Ampère formulation, which considers the classical dipolar sources in matter along with the hidden momentum contribution. It is seen that, among the other formulations existing in the literature, our proposal is the only one universally compatible with the experimental works reported to date. A new radiation pressure equation for non-magnetic dielectrics under oblique illumination from p-polarized beams is also derived.
