Abstract:
It is proposed that electric field as vector E of magnitude E due to particle of charge Q moving with velocity v, relative to an observer, is (E/c)(c + v), where c is velocity of light of magnitude c. For particle of charge K and mass m moving with velocity v, relative to Q, electric field is (E/c)(c – v) and accelerating force, at time t, in accordance with Newton’s second law of motion, becomes (KE/c)(c – v) = m(dv/dt). This makes velocity v = c a limit to which a charged particle is accelerated with constant mass as the rest mass. Force on a moving charged particle is less than force KE on stationary one, the difference is radiation reaction force, against which work done is radiation as the difference between change in potential energy and change in kinetic energy. With this modification of Coulomb’s law, speed of light c is attained as a limit, without recourse to special relativity and radiation is obtained outside quantum mechanics.
