Magnetic Fields of Stationary Magnets :: physics science magnet magnetic field

Missing figures/equationsMy goal in writing this musical theme is two fold. Goal one is to try and understand how a nonmoving magnet exerts force by means of a magnetic arena (even across a complete vacuum). Frequently, electromagnetic line of businesss are compared to the gravitative field. Goal two is to explore the similarities between the two types of fields to put one over if comparison throws any light on the mechanism of magnetic field generation. The term action-at-a-distance is often used to describe forces that travel through space and exert their effect without directly touching the objects acted upon. Newtons idea of instantaneous action-at-a-distance has been replaced by the modern action-at-a-distance which is transmitted at the speed of light so as to avoid conflict with Relativity Theory (Hoyle and Narlikar 1974). The term field supposition either replaces action-at-a-distance or is used as the means by which action-at-a-distance transmits force. In this pape r field will represent the means of transmitting forces such as electromagnetism and gravity, avoiding the need for the term action-at-a-distance.Magnetic fields are frequently compared to gravitational fields. Gravitational fields cause a bend of space-time. That curvature of space-time provides a mechanism for the gravitational attraction between masses. A magnet also causes a curvature of space-time. In detail a magnet can cause space-time curvature in several distinct ways.
