kinetic energy
The presence of kinetic energy in every magnetic ring, implies that each magnetic ring is created by a tiny circling particle in its own right.
One of the characteristics of a magnetic field, is that its influence only extends as far as its outermost ring, which gives it a ‘finite’ size.
Two particles with a magnetic field around them will not attract or repel each other, until their outermost rings touch together.
The aim of this article is to review the structure of light.All the waves in the ‘Spectrum of Light’, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays are completely transparent.We rely upon the use of detectors to visualise them, but the one notable exception is the ‘visible’ segment of the Spectrum of Light, for we have a detector built into our brain, which builds a coloured, three dimensional picture of our field of vision.Move your eyes and the picture is rebuilt in your brain at the speed of light.This built-in detector for visible light, has led to the general use of the word light, although the term ‘radiant energy ‘ is a more descriptive term when reviewing the whole Spectrum of Light. Maxwell’s model of radiant energy is based upon the premise that photons are constructed from two interdependent sources of energy: electric and magnetic.They are viewed as moving through space in two different planes, set at right angles to each other, relying upon the instant conversion of one source of energy into the other and then back again to create an electromagnetic photon of a specific wavelength.This structure implies that the magnetic and electric components must play an equal role in its movement through space.If so, then both the electric and magnetic sources of the energy, must have the same wavelength, have equal amounts of kinetic energy and travel at the same speed of light. If not, then the two components will lose their synchronisation and separate apart.This raises the question of the compatibility of these different sources of energy.To progress this perception, a first step is to make a brief synopsis of the two sources of energy that are traditionally referred to as Magnetic and Electric.The Magnetic Force.Magnetic fields, such as those generated around a bar magnet or around a current in a wire, are all created from curved lines, which form themselves into separate rings.This circular nature of magnetic rings, explains why it is impossible to have an individual North or South pole.Each magnetic field has a finite number of rings and each ring has a finite diameter that increases from the centre outwards. This ‘discrete’ structure enables each magnetic ring to circle consistently around itself without the loss of energy.Although a magnetic field is transparent, experiments with iron filings, sprinkled onto a magnetic field, visibly show that the circling magnetic field rings, contain kinetic energy, that enables them to physically move the iron filings from where they fell, into the path of a magnetic ring.The presence of kinetic energy in every magnetic ring, implies that each magnetic ring is created by a tiny circling particle in its own right.However, because it is a particles, its maximum rotational speed around its magnetic ring, is restricted to the speed of light. One of the characteristics of a magnetic field, is that its influence only extends as far as its outermost ring, which gives it a ‘finite’ size.Two particles with a magnetic field around them will not attract or repel each other, until their outermost rings touch together.Magnetic rings have two sides, like ‘heads and tails’ on a coin.If the ring is circling clockwise, the ring is said to be ‘spin up’, but if it is circling anti-clockwise, it is said to be ‘spin down’.Magnetic rings that meet circling in the same clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, repel one another, whereas magnetic rings circling in opposite directions, attract each other.This is demonstrated by the magnetic field of a bar magnet, where half the rings circle clockwise and the other half circle anti-clockwise forming a spherical magnetic field around the bar magnet. Similarly, the flow of current along a conducting wire, creates a series of magnetic field rings rotating around the wire in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flow of the electric current.The individual rings of increasing diameter, circle around the wire in the same direction, which brings the adjacent faces of two rings together, in a spin-up (heads) and spin-down (tails) state. The attraction between these adjacent rings, holds them together, creating their magnetic field. As a consequence of this ring structure, the ‘finite’ and ‘discrete’ characteristics of magnetic fields, conform to the concept of quantum mechanics.The Electric Force.The structure of an electric force is derived from two different sources of electrical energy, which exist as an integral part of the proton and the electron, as well as the anti-proton and the positron.These two sources of energy have the capability of binding the proton and electron particles together to create both matter and anti-matter and are referred to as being positively or negatively charge.Particles having the same positive or negative source of electrical energy repel each other, whereas unlike sources attract each other.To distinguish between the two sources, the proton and the positron are given a plus sign and the electron and the anti-proton are given a minus sign.Both the proton, the electron and their anti-particles have the same magnitude of charge, which creates the same number of field lines.Each field line follows a straight line paths, which emerge in all directions, forming a sphere of influence that surrounds the positively or negatively charged particles. As they spread out from their particle’s location, their strength diminishes in accordance with the inverse square law.The presence of a positively charged proton and a negatively charge electron in the same vicinity, causes their field lines to join together, creating the attracting force between them.Likewise, the field lines of two like charged particles, whose field lines point towards or away from each other, the two like charges repel each other.Although the strength of the negative electric charge upon an electron has been measured, its physical structure within the electron has yet to be identified.However, the physical structure of the positive charge of the proton is different to the negative charge of the electron.Whereas the electron is a single particle, the proton is a compound entity, comprised of particles called quarks.As a consequence, its positive charge is divided into fractional amounts of positive and negative charge, which are allocated separately to each quarks.But, it has not been possible to trace the energy of an electric field line operating between the positive charge on a proton and the negative charge on an electron, either within the hydrogen atom or outside it. Without this knowledge, it is not possible to determine whether electric field lines conform to the ‘finite’ and ‘discrete’ requirements of quantum mechanics.Comparison of the Electric and Magnetic force fields. It is evident from this synopsis of the electric and magnetic forces, that although they both arise from the same two particles: the electron and the proton, they have completely different structures and attract and repel in totally different ways.Electric field lined are single dimension, whilst circling magnetic rings move through space in a planes, which can have different orientations to their straight line direction of travel.This planar structure of magnetic rings, gives light its capability of being polarised. The diameter of its ring determines its wavelength, which applies across the whole spectrum of light.The magnetic field ring is a self-contained source of energy, but the electric field must perpetually generate its energy to maintain its field lines, whose influence reaches in all directions to infinity.This raises the question of how fast does electrical energy travel away from its source particle, whether it has a positive or a negative charge? If they travel at the speed of light, then it should be possible to measure the reaction time between pairs of charged particles that are placed apart.If not, then an infinite speed is the other option.But to react at an infinite speed requires the presence of a continuum of energy to be present throughout the universe, from which the charged particle take and give back kinetic energy according to their locations apart from each other.However, just as the concept of a universal ‘aether’ could not be detected, neither has the presence of a universal ‘electric field’ been detected either.ConclusionsThese structural differences, point to the conclusion, that the characteristics of the magnetic ring are more explanatory of the behaviour of light photons, than the concept of interchangeable electric and magnetic field lines. The kinetic energy ring, physically circles around the proton and the electron, which gives them the capabilities of magnetic and electric charges that are traditionally thought to exist as two separate forces within the proton and the electron.The attraction between the magnetic spin-up and spin-down states of a particle’s ring, replaces the concept of the positive and negative electric charges that are attributed to the proton and electron respectively.As a light photon is no longer constructed from two intertwined force fields, it can now be viewed as a transparent ring of kinetic energy, which when released from a proton or an electron, travels through space or down a conducting wire, in a straight line at the speed of light, exhibiting a wave motion as its particle rotates around the circular pathway of its ring.As a consequence, the concept of “electromagnetism” becomes a redundant terminology within the chronicle of light.
