Faraday’s Iron Ring Experiment (1831) Explained with Gill’s Electronic Theory of Magnetism (1964)
Abstract
Abstract: Gill’s electronic theory of magnetism (1964) was put forward by the author to explain a change
in configuration of the atoms which then start to behave like magnets. The author does not agree with the
pre-existing dipole theory of Maxwell (1873).
By applying Gill’s electronic theory of magnetism (1964) to Faraday’s (1831) iron ring experiment, the
unexpected result obtained by Michael Faraday in 1831will be explained.
Using Coulomb’s law, dot-product calculations and equations have been developed by the author versus
the cross-product Lorentz equations (1893).
Magnetism and the Tesla unit will be addressed, and it will be shown with the help of Coulomb’s law that
if we have ???? =
???? ????. ???? =(????. ????) ⁻¹ non-moving inner electrons at the north magnetic pole and have at a
distance of one meter the same number of exposed protons as the south magnetic pole, then we will
experience a magnetic force of one Tesla between the two magnetic poles.
The issue of asymmetry between magnetic force and electrical force pointed out by A. Einstein in 1905
and Richard Feynman in 1943 is resolved by applying Gill’s electronic theory of magnetism (1964)
instead of Maxwell’s dipole theory of magnetism (1873).
Introduction: This article has been written to explain the results obtained by Michael Faraday in his
1831 iron ring experiment with the application of Gill’s electronic theory of magnetism (1964). The
ability to do the same also lends support to Gill’s electronic theory of magnetism. It will be shown with
line diagrams and a simple experiment that the magnetic force is a combination of positive and negative
forces from the protons and electrons of a re-configured magnetized atom. The author will go on to derive
dot product calculations and equations after having failed to reconcile with the cross-product Lorentz
formula of 1893. The derived equations are applied to define and calculate a Tesla unit. Maxwell’s dipole
theory of magnetism (1873) causes the asymmetry issue, and it will be shown that Gill’s electronic theory
of magnetism resolves the asymmetry issue.
