Energy Distribution in Melvin's Magnetic Universe
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We use the energy–momentum complexes of Landau and Lifshitz and Papapetrou to obtain the energy distribution in Melvin's magnetic universe. For this space–time we find that these definitions of energy give the same and convincing results. The energy distribution obtained here is the same as we obtained earlier for the same space–time using the energy–momentum complex of Einstein. These results uphold the usefulness of the energy–momentum complexes.
