Re: ENERGY WITH Q



Others have already called Jim on his claimed proof of the
conservation of KE. I only wish to react to his further comment:
...
Now N#3 says that the F on the system in question = -F on the
applicator
...

What makes you think N#3 is correct? Consider magnetic forces
acting between mutually moving charges. They don't remotely satisfy
N#3 even when they are close enough and moving slowly enough to be
able to neglect the ubiquitous retardation effects.
