Particle ?Charge Inertia? in a Magnetic Field
Year: 2006
This paper presents a new concept called ?charge-inertia? and demonstrates its utility in re-explaining electromagnetic phenomena mechanically. The acceleration of a free, charged particle in a magnetic field can be re-explained as an inertia effect, whether the field is time-varying or not, and whether the particle has a relativistic speed or not. The new explanation denies the Lorentz force, the electromagnetic induction, and the relativistic mass, achieving a partial unification of classical mechanics with electrodynamics.
