Electromagnetic Unification Energy?

AI Thread Summary
Electromagnetic unification energy is not a recognized concept in physics. The discussion highlights that while electroweak and grand unification energies exist, there is no specific energy level termed "electromagnetic unification energy." The idea may stem from popular science references to energy levels in colliders where forces become indistinguishable. This concept is often used to explain the unification of forces during the early moments of the Big Bang. Overall, the notion lacks formal definition and recognition in scientific discourse.

Hey there - just a simple question. I've heard of the electroweak and grand unification energies, but was wondering if there was such thing as an electromagnetic unification energy. If such a thing exists, do we know what that energy is?

There is not such a thing.
 
What made you think of that name?

Perhaps the time during the BB where the single forces haven't been built out. It's commonly used in popular science. They often tell that there is a energy level, e.g. in colliders, where the forces get indistinguishable again. Somehow to bridge the gap on the scale between the gravitational and the weak force.

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
