Electric vs. Magnetic Fields: What's the Connection to Virtual Photons?

AI Thread Summary
Electric fields are generated by stationary charged particles, while magnetic fields arise from the movement of these charged particles. Both fields are interconnected and can be described through the framework of electromagnetism. Virtual photons are theorized to mediate the forces associated with both electric and magnetic fields. The relationship between electric and magnetic fields is often viewed through the lens of relativity, where magnetic fields can be seen as a relativistic effect of electric fields. Understanding this connection is crucial for grasping the fundamentals of electromagnetic interactions.

What is the difference between an electric and a magnetic field? Are both related to virtual photons? Is an electric field the result of the presence of charged particles, while the magnetic field is a result of the movement of charged particles?

And to answer one of your questions, yes both the electric and magnetic force is thought to be mediated by exchange photons. Often, they are considered together as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism"

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
