Engineering Physics Annotation << Back ON THE POLARIZATION OF PHYSICAL VACUUM IN AN ELECTRIC FIELD A.V. NEDOSPASOV The separation of opposite electric charges to move, as it is known, is localized in the surrounding space in the form of energy fields. The increase in is associated with making work in the space, where free electric charges are absent. This article discusses the hypothesis of the spontaneous polarization of the physical vacuum under the action of the electromagnetic fi eld. It is shown that the consequences of this hypothesis are consistent with the basic properties of the classical field. Key words: polarization, physical vacuum, dipole moment, electric fi eld, density of energy. Contacts: E-mail: a-nedospasov@yandex.ru Pp. 03-06.
