Thus a force along the line represented by c can be considered as being made up of two components, one along the line of motion of the electron, and the other along the line perpendicular to the two plates. ... The most important part of this discussion is the realization that electromagnetic interactions do not behave in the same manner as purely physical forces. A force applied across the path of a moving softball and a stationary softball will produce the same acceleration in each along the line of that force. In the case of a moving electron in a magnetic field, the initial velocity of the electron across the path of the magnetic field will cause the value of that magnetic field's effect to be skewed by the factor γ. This happens because the requirement that electromagnetic effects operate at the speed of c in the observer's frame of reference must be satisfied." p. 4 - <a href="http://renshaw.teleinc.com/Book/Chapter%208%20-%20Energy,%20Particle%20Accelerators%20and%20Synchrotron%20Radiation.pdf" rel="nofollow">ENERGY, PARTICLE ACCELERATORS AND SYNCHROTRON RADIATION</a>Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725175206527681317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10194329.post-10016115329463336422014-06-09T05:20:44.658-05:002014-06-09T05:20:44.658-05:00"I keep stumbling upon other academic papers ..."I keep stumbling upon other academic papers and blogs making the same claims as Miles..."<br /><br />Can you cite even one academic paper that claims that pi = 4?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
