A Mass-Energy Equivalence Law as E = ½ Mc2
This paper assumes that the mass and charge of a particle are independent of its speed relative to an observer. A particle of mass m and charge Q moving with its electrostatic field Eo at an angle 𝜽 to the direction of speed v, is considered. The intrinsic energy of the particle is contained in its electrostatic field Eo . The magnetic field, generated by a moving charged particle, does not contain any energy. It is shown that, as a result of aberration of electric field, Eo becomes a dynamic electric field Ev , displaced by aberration angle α from the stationary position. This angular displacement is a distortion which increases the energy of the particle by an amount equal to the kinetic energy. The difference between the energies of dynamic field Ev and electrostatic field Eo , gives the kinetic energy ½ mv2 of the particle, thereby offering a mass-energy law as E = ½ mc2 . It is also shown that a charged particle moving at time t, with acceleration dv/dt, produces a reactive el

It is also shown that a charged particle moving at time t, with acceleration dv/dt, produces a reactive electric field Ea = -μo ɛo QU(dv/dt), where μo is the permeability and ɛo the permittivity of space and φ the potential at a point due to the charge. It is proposed that Ea acts on the same charge Q, to create a reactive force QEa = -μo ɛo QU(dv/dt) = -2Eμo εo (dv/dt) = -m(dv/dt), where the charge Q is in its own potential U, E = QU/2 = ½ mc2 is the electrostatic energy and c2 = 1/μo ɛo, c being the speed of light. The force QEa = -m(dv/dt explains the inertia of a body as an electrical effect caused by acceleration.
Executive Summary
This article proposes a novel mass-energy equivalence law, E = ½ Mc^2, derived from the concept of aberration of electric field and reactive electric field. The authors argue that the kinetic energy of a charged particle is equal to the difference between the energies of its dynamic and electrostatic fields. The article also explores the relationship between inertia and electromagnetic forces, suggesting that inertia can be explained as an electrical effect caused by acceleration. The proposed law has implications for our understanding of the fundamental nature of energy and matter.
