Abstract:
The equation H = (εvEo)sinθ gives the magnitude of magnetic field due a charged particle and its electrostatic field Eo moving at speed v in space of permittivity ε, where θ is the angle between the direction of speed v and direction of field Eo. Due to motion of the particle, a dynamic electric field of magnitude (v/c)(Eo)cosθ, is created to make the total field = Eo{1 + (v/c)cosθ}. The kinetic energy of a particle, moving with constant mass m, is K = ½ mv^2. Equating K with the sum of energies of magnetic field H and dynamic electric field, gives a mass-energy equivalence law as E = ½ mc^2, where E is the energy of electrostatic field Eo, in contrast to relativistic equation E = mc^2. A charged particle is assumed to be a spherical shell of radius a and surface charge σ.
