curious friend

Thanks... This explains to some extent. But see the above situation again. If this experiment is repeated large number of times then classically in almost all cases the negative charge should travel –X direction towards the positive charge. I do not know if using Heisenberg uncertainty principle we are able to show maximum probability of finding the negative charge along –X direction between (0,0) to (+x,0) and minimum in +X direction.

Thanks….Kindly consider a situation: A positive charge is at O(0,0). A negative charge is at P(+ x,0). Suppose the positive charge sends a virtual photon in +X direction towards the negative charge. Now this virual photon shall impart some momentum to the negative charge during collision and then the negative charge should get further pushed towards +X direction. But we know that the negative charge gets attracted towards the positive charge and should move in –X direction. I feel that the 'force of attraction' may not be fully explained by this concept of virtual photons based communication. Kindly guide.

Thanks…What I wish to know is classically if there is any difference between electric field and electromagnetic waves (photons)? Also electric field seems to be of massless nature but spread all over the space and still passing a message from one charge to another in vacuum at speed of light(photons). I feel surprised that such field can exert a force of attraction on a particle having mass. Therefore I was trying to find out if there is any opinion or study regarding the physical nature of fields.

I wish to know if there is any attempt to describe physical nature of electric field. Magnetic field seems to be due to the relativistic effect when the charge is in motion. What is physical picture and difference between electric field, magnetic field and electromagnetic waves? Also if there is vacuum between two charges then what leads to force at a distance and how? May be there is no perfect answer to these fundamental questions but I wish to know if anybody has attempted to answer.
