Faraday's Tentacles and Beyond: Marwa Marso

This document is a paper titled "Faraday's tentacles and beyond" by Marwa Marso exploring concepts in electromagnetism. It includes sections on Newton's 3rd law, Maxwell's equations, and relativistic electromagnetism. The introduction discusses the early history of electromagnetism from the 17th century thinkers like Charles du Fay and how Michael Faraday used the concept of "tentacles" or "strings" to explain electromagnetic forces without action at a distance.

Quantum field theory


One electron emits a photon and recoils; the second electron
absorbs the photon and acquires its momentum. This simple
process can be pictured with a Feynman diagram.
