Eg a gravitational field exists around a mass (A), and no doubt influences any other local mass (B) - but.. - does that field also exert an influence on the original mass (A) ? ie a sort of radial force outwards ?
kuruman said:If you are asking whether mass A can be accelerated by the gravitational field it generates, the answer is no.
Will not A will be drawn towards B?kuruman said:If you are asking whether mass A can be accelerated by the gravitational field it generates, the answer is no.
That statement takes away the symmetry of a situation. The Field (g) is only a description of the effect of the mass of a body. Take two bodies; each has mass and its field causes a force on the other.kuruman said:If you are asking whether mass A can be accelerated by the gravitational field it generates, the answer is no.
A field can affect the originating entity in various ways depending on the type of field and the entity itself. For example, a magnetic field can affect the movement of charged particles in an entity, while a gravitational field can affect the overall shape and structure of an entity.
Yes, a field can change the properties of an originating entity. For instance, an electric field can change the charge distribution in an entity, while a temperature field can change the thermal properties of an entity.
The relationship between a field and an originating entity is that a field is a physical quantity that exists in the space surrounding an entity, and it can exert a force or influence on the entity. The strength and direction of the field determine the extent of its impact on the entity.
No, all fields have some level of influence on an originating entity. Even if the effect is minimal, every field has the potential to affect an entity in some way.
Scientists use various methods to measure the impact of a field on an originating entity. This can include conducting experiments, making observations, and using mathematical models and equations to analyze the relationship between the field and the entity. The specific method used depends on the type of field and the properties of the entity being studied.
