Electrodynamics and Gravitation Based on Trends Preceding Maxwell and Einstein
Vitaly M. Bernstein
In the equations of Gauss and Weber, the interaction force of moving electric charges is independent of the observer?s reference system movement, without the relativistic treatment of space and time. In this paper we propose a model for interaction of charges that explains the Weber equation based on the following propositions: the action of a moving field is similar to the Doppler effect; the interaction of charges q1 and q2 is caused by ?action fields?, the strength of these fields for immobile charges is q1/r and q2/r (r being the path of the moving field); the computed distance between charges is obtained by considering the retardation of the field.
