Abstract

In this article, while analytically reviewing the Landau formalism for electrodynamic equations in the presence of a gravitational field, we show that the three-dimensional electromagnetic constitutive relations in this formalism can be expressed by two equivalent methods. Then we obtain the constitutive relations for the Galilean rotating observer with both methods and show its compatibility with the previous results. We also present the electromagnetic constitutive relations for an eccentric rotating observer. To solve some ambiguities, especially in the articles related to this topic in the field of electrical engineering, different representations of the three-dimensional form of constitutive relations in the Galilean rotating observer’s frame are expressed in full detail. Also, the connection between different representations of three-dimensional constitutive relations will be explained. In the end, considering the practical and experimental importance of the eccentric rotating observer, we will obtain the electromagnetic constitutive relations for this particular observer.
