Using the complete expression for the AB phase, we reveal that the phase component, explicitly depending on time, is determined by the interactional electric energy, while the phase component, explicitly depending on the velocity of charge, is determined by the interactional EM momentum for an isolated system 'source of EM field and charge'. These findings shed new light on the origin of the AB phase and, in particular, allow us to generalize the de Broglie relationship and the Heisenberg uncertainty relations for a charged particle in an EM field.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAharonov-Bohm effectelectromagnetic energy-momentumde Broglie relationshipHeisenberg uncertainty relationsArticleQ14802283WOS:001158292000006
