Text: "Some aspects of the Aharonov-Bohm effect." Some aspects of the Aharonov-Bohm scattering present an apparent contradiction to recent proofs that electrodynamics is a local theory. In the extended version of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, vector force fields are deliberately combined to form "zero-vector resultant" artificial potential fields. These artificial potentials, either as waves or beams, are interfered at a distance, providing dephasing and destructive and constructive interference with concomitant distant production of ordinary electromagnetic forces and energy. Thus at the distant interference zone, energy may emerge or disappear. This is an "action at a distance" phenomenon and definitely violates the interpretation of local physics theories.
