ABSTRACT: This work distinguishes
between classical electrodynamics where Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force
are used as the theory’s
cornerstone (MLE) and electrodynamic theories that are derived from the
variational principle (VE). The paper explains the significance of this
distinction. Mathematical elements of gauge transformations are examined within
the realm of these theories. The analysis proves that MLE is a gauge invariant
theory whereas errors arise from the introduction of gauge transformations into
VE. The paper explains why MLE evades the contradictions of VE.
