SUMMARY

Gravity affects electrical charges and magnetism in coils, as established by both Newtonian and General Relativity (GR) theories. Newtonian theory asserts that gravity influences all entities with mass, while GR incorporates gravity into the equations of motion, indicating its universal impact. The discussion confirms that gravity's effects are present regardless of the scale of the system being analyzed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newtonian physics
  • Familiarity with General Relativity concepts
  • Basic knowledge of electrical charges and magnetism
  • Awareness of geodesic equations in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of gravity on electrical charge behavior
  • Study the effects of gravity on magnetism in coils
  • Explore the geodesic equations in General Relativity
  • Investigate experimental evidence of gravity's influence on electromagnetic phenomena
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, electrical engineers, and researchers interested in the interplay between gravity, electrical charges, and magnetism.

My physics sucks but does gravity affect electical charges inside devices... Does it affect magnetism in coils... I thought it has an affect on anything regardless of how small it is.. right?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In Newtonian theory it affects EVERYTHING which has the property of "mass". In GR theory it affects EVERYTHING, since it apperars in the equations of motion (geodesic equations). So, yes, according to us so far understanding of gravity, gravity affects everything, reagrdless its space scale.
