Abstract:
Classical and relativistic electrodynamics could not explain the source of radiation from accelerated charged particles. So, quantum mechanics was devised to explain emission of radiation from atomic particles. The theory of general relativity was contrived to explain the cause of gravity. However, these incompatible theories have not given satisfactory explanations at speeds, from zero to that of light, for charged particles moving relative to an observer. This paper explains radiation on the basis of aberration of electric field, where there is relative velocity (c – v) between a charged particle moving with velocity v in an electric field and the electrical force transmitted with velocity of light c, leading to a modification of Coulomb’s law. Gravitation is explained to be the result of bending of an electric field where it encounters an electric charge in space, such that force of repulsion is slightly reduced and force of attraction similarly increased. An important result of the paper is that Rutherford’s nuclear model of the hydrogen atom is inherently stable and no need for Bohr’s quantum mechanics to fix it.
