How is Coulomb's Law Derived Using Virtual Photon Exchange Theory?

AI Thread Summary
Coulomb's Law can be derived using virtual photon exchange theory, which posits that electromagnetic forces are mediated by the exchange of virtual photons. The discussion highlights the need for a comprehensive derivation of this law through the lens of quantum field theory. Participants express a desire for clarity and depth in the explanation, indicating that existing resources may lack thoroughness. The inquiry reflects an ongoing interest in understanding the fundamental principles of electrostatics within modern physics frameworks. A complete derivation would enhance the understanding of the relationship between charge and force in electrostatic interactions.

derive Coulombs law of electrostatic force by using virtual photon exchange theory of electrostatic field
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is this a question, or a homework or what ? Could you elaborate ?
 
i have sent this question because so far i have not seen complete comprehensive derivation. if photon exchange theory is correct ,derivation should be there
