An experimental scheme to verify the dynamics of the Aharonov--Bohm effect

There are two different viewpoints on the Aharonov--Bohm (A--B)effect. One asserts that the A--B effect is due to the existence ofthe vector potential A. The other asserts that the A--Beffect is due to the interaction energy between the magnetic fieldproduced by the moving charges and the magnetic field in thesolenoid. The difference of these two viewpoints is analyzed in thispaper. To judge which viewpoint is right, this paper suggests a newexperimental method.
