Well static means &#8211; Not moving! A common online English dictionary defines static (adjective) as follows: lacking in movement, action, or change, especially in an undesirable or uninteresting way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I then have the full right to surmise that Static fields do not move with speed of light according to this definition. So, there is a contradiction with the proof. Therefore, the only way to resolve it is to conclude that Static Fields DO NOT have the right to exist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, what is believed to be static is actually a superposition or contrapuntal effect of normally moving fields (Poynting vectors to be precise), where their stepping or pulsing effects are not visible. A normal illusion due to superposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One might ask but what about for example a cylindrical capacitor shown on <a href=\"\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poynting_vector\">\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poynting_vector<\/a> ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is that &#8211; just the same thing &#8211; the are at least two power flows of ExH form there &#8211; like two conveyor belts of sheaths moving against one another, where the H (magnetic components are superposed and show the cumulative effect of H=0). Just short-circuit this cylinder from at least one edge, and you will see the effect of transition (redistribution) of the magnitudes of E and H so that the total amount of power ExH crossing the spatial cross-section will remain the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So <strong>Static Field<\/strong> (<em>as being static in the sense of the above definition<\/em>) is an <strong>illusion<\/strong> &#8211; just another H G Wells&#8217; Invisible Man visiting us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To my previous blog, proving that EM power can only exist in motion with a speed of light, one might react with a question: What about Static EM fields?
