Magnetic Field Composition: Unraveling the Mystery

In summary, there are theories and ideas about what a magnetic field is composed of, including the concept of virtual photons running on the lines of force according to Quantum Electrodynamics. However, the exact composition of the magnetic field is still not fully understood and requires further research.

I was wondering if there where any ideas or theories regarding what a magnetic field is composed of. Are there any particle ideas, or is it just something we don't understand yet

We know about magnetic field as well as we know about electric field. They are all encompassed under Quantum Electrodynamics.

Zz.

What does QED say about the two fields, does it mention nothing about compostion of the fields? Are the fields composed of nothing?, Doesn't there have to be something that can cause the force, some sort of particle, like gravitons cause gravity, is there any particle that causes electromagnetism

According to one website, virtual photons are running on the lines of force. That did answer my question but now I need to know what a virtual photon is lol

What are Quatisized Magnetic Fields?

Quatisized Magnetic Fields are a type of magnetic field that has been divided into discrete units or packets. These packets are known as quanta and are the smallest possible unit of energy.

How are Quatisized Magnetic Fields created?

Quatisized Magnetic Fields are created when a charged particle, such as an electron, interacts with a magnetic field. The interaction between the particle and the field causes the field to become quantized.

What is the significance of Quatisized Magnetic Fields?

The existence of Quatisized Magnetic Fields has important implications in the study of quantum mechanics and the behavior of particles at the atomic level. It also plays a crucial role in many technological applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic storage devices.

Can Quatisized Magnetic Fields be observed?

Quatisized Magnetic Fields cannot be directly observed, but their effects can be measured and studied using various techniques, such as spectroscopy and quantum interference experiments.

Do Quatisized Magnetic Fields follow the laws of classical physics?

No, Quatisized Magnetic Fields are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, which differ from the laws of classical physics. In the quantum world, particles behave differently and can exist in multiple states simultaneously, unlike in the classical world where they follow a single, well-defined path.
