Hi there PF
How does on calculate the field strenght of the electromagnetic field (from Maxwells equations) and of the gravitational field (from general relativity).
I want to relate this to particle physics, where the relative strenghts of the fundamental interactions are calculated here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction#Overview), but how are these relative strengths calculated? Does it have something to do with coupling constants? and how does one find these in general relativity and in maxwells equations?
Also i would like to ask, whether these are energy dependent, as in grand unified theories, where on states that the fundamental forces become equal in strenght at certain levels of energy.
Thanks in advance
