Abstract

Determining the causality in electromagnetism is more difficult than determining the causality in classical mechanics. Newton's second law and the laws of Faraday and of Ampere are very different in character. Whereas Newton's second law holds for a point in space, the laws of Faraday and of Ampere hold for a region in space. The ultimate aim of this article is to delve into the correct mechanism of propagation of electromagnetic waves. And, in this article, we investigate the wrong reasoning of other authors. It is concluded that an electric field neither generates nor induces a magnetic field and a magnetic field neither generates nor induces an electric field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
