Scientific paper

The requirements imposed by relativistic covariance on the physical description of two interacting classical charged particles are investigated. If it is assumed that rotational pseudoforces do not exist in Thomas-precessing particle rest frames, then kinematical considerations demand the presence of compensatory forces in inertial reference frames. It is shown that in a system of two mutually-circular-orbiting classical charged particles of equal mass, the magnetic force on either particle in the center-of-mass frame may be regarded as part of an anti-Coriolis force in the rest frame of the other, due to a hypothesized lack of Coriolis force in the Thomas-precessing rest frame. The plausibility that an anti-centrifugal force of the Thomas precession may account for the binding of quarks into nucleons is also investigated.
