Abstract

The Aharonov–Bohm solenoid effect is related to the inequality of the forces of action and reaction of two subsystems in a three-system configuration. During the motion of the electron around the solenoid there are momentum exchanges between the solenoid and the electromagnetic field that are produced by the electron and the solenoid. The integral of the momentum of interference over the trajectory of the electron, which is equal to the integral of the energy of interference over the corresponding time, gives the Aharonov–Bohm phase shift.
