1 ravitational Charge Julio C. obbi , 23 July ABTRACT: This article aims to put the gravitational equations in the same format as the electromagnetic equations to use the same mathematical tools we use in electromagnetism. It will be evident, by the analogy between gravitational and electrical forces, that masses are like gravitational charges. KEYWORD: gravitational equations, gravitational charge, gravitational current. Contents 1 ymbology Introduction ravitational Charge ravitational Field urface Density of ravitational Charge ravitational Flux ravitational Current ravitational Potential ravitational Poisson s Equation ravitational Continuity Equation Conclusion ymbology In this text we will use the following symbols with its abbreviated unit of measurements: N = Newton, kg = kilogram, m = meter, s = second, = olt, C = Coulomb, A = Ampere. E = Electric field intensity [N C -1 ] [ m -1 ]; D = urface density of electric charge [C m -2 ]; E = Electric potential [] [Wb s -1 ]; Ф E = Electric flux [N m 2 C -1 ] [ m]; q E = Electric charge [C]; I E = Electric current [C s -1 ] [A]; J E = urface density of electric current [A m -2 ] [C s -1 m -2 ]; ε 0 = acuum electric permittivity [C 2 N -1 m -2 ] [C -1 m -1 ]; k E = Electrostatic constant [N m 2 C -2 ] [m 3 C -1 s -2 ]; = ravitational field intensity [N kg -1 ] [m s -2 ]; M = urface density of gravitational charge [kg m -2 ]; = ravitational potential [N m kg -1 ] [m 2 s -2 ]; 1 solismagnus@gmail.com

2 2 ravitational Charge Ф = ravitational flux [N m 2 kg -1 ]; q = ravitational charge [kg]; I = ravitational current [kg s -1 ] [N s m -1 ]; J = urface density of gravitational current [kg s -1 m -2 ]; ρ = olume density of gravitational charge [kg m -3 ]; = acuum gravitational permeability [kg 2 N -1 m -2 ] [kg s 2 m -3 ]; k = ravitostatic constant = *10-11 [N m 2 kg -2 ] [m 3 kg -1 s -2 ]; F = Force [N] [kg m s -2 ]; r = Radial length [m]; l = Length [m]; = Area [m 2 ]; t = Time [s]. 2 Introduction After Newton s Universal ravitation Law, the gravitational interaction between two bodies may be expressed by a central force proportional to the bodies masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.[1] F= m 1 m 2 r 2 ^r Here is the Universal ravitational Constant. The equation that represents this law have intrigued for many decades for its similarity with the force equation between two electric charges: q F=k E 1 q E 2 E ^r= 1 q E 1 q E 2 r 2 4 πε 0 r 2 ^r Comparing both force equations, we see: A direct relation between and k E. A direct relation between m 1, m 2 and q E1, q E2. In the electric force equation, the electrostatic or dielectric constant k E, called Coulomb s constant, has an inverse relation with the electric permittivity ε 0. Both equations have an inverse relation with the square of the distance. This lead us to consider the universal gravitational constant like a gravitostatic constant k related to the gravitational permeability in the same way that the electrostatic constant k E is related to the electric permittivity ε 0. This way, the unit of measurement of [kg 2 N -1 m -2 ] is like its electric counterpart ε 0 [C 2 N -1 m -2 ] and we may equate the gravitational permeability considering k : k == 1 4 π = 1 4 π = 1 4 π k = kg 2 N 1 m 2 This is the gravitational permeability of vacuum of space. 3 ravitational Charge We may see too that the masses are in the place of the electrical charges and this lead us to consider the masses like gravitational charges q. With this considerations, the actual and the new gravitational force equations (considering m q, k ) are:

3 ravitational Charge 3 F= m m 1 2 q ^r F=k q 1 2 r 2 ^r= 1 q 1 q 2 ^r r 2 4 π r 2 Now we have a gravitational force equation totally similar to its electric counterpart. From here on we will use the character for gravitational field and k for the Universal ravitational Constant, now called gravitostatic constant. 4 ravitational Field The gravitational field equation may be obtained in the same way that the electric field is obtained by the auss law, considering a punctual gravitational charge enclosed by a spherical surface that surrounds it: 2 π π d r 2 senθd θd ϕ=4π r 2 = q 0 0 Isolating the field we see that the gravitational field equation may be defined like its electric field counterpart: = 1 q 4 π r ^r=k q 2 r ^r 2 By the Newton s second law F=m a, we define gravitational acceleration by the gravitational force that acts on a particle of gravitational charge q that is at a distance r from a uniform spherical body of gravitational charge Q, with F=q a. Isolating a, we may see that it is the same gravitational field. a = F Q =k q r ^r= 1 Q 2 4 π r ^r= 2 The unit of measurement of [N kg -1 ] is like its electric counterpart E [N C -1 ], and the unit of measurement of acceleration [m s -2 ] is the same as [N kg -1 ] because [N] = [kg m s -2 ]. Then, it is useful to remember that: 1. The unit of measurement of gravitational field is the same as the acceleration. It is the acceleration experienced by the particle at a distance r. 2. When an object is put in a gravitational field, its gravitational acceleration is numerically the same as the gravitational field. 3. When an object is accelerated, it is the same as creating a gravitational field for the object. 5 urface Density of ravitational Charge Now we may define the surface density of gravitational charge M like the surface density of electric charge D. In the vacuum of space, there are simple relations between gravitational field and surface density of gravitational charge M: M=. M= = q 4 π r 2 ^r

4 4 ravitational Charge Here we may confirm that M is really a surface density of gravitational charge, like its electric counterpart, because 4πr 2 is the spherical area that surrounds the charge q. 6 ravitational Flux The gravitational flux Ф in space that pass through a closed surface that surrounds a gravitational charge may be equated like its electric flux counterpart Ф E : = d = q q = When the integral is over an open area, the gravitational flux indicates the quantity of lines of gravitational force field that pass through the area. This is, a limited area that has a surface density of gravitational charge has a total quantity of charge that may be equated by: d q = d M d = 7 ravitational Current Electric current I E is the motion of electric charges with unit of measurement [C s -1 ], then the gravitational current I is the motion of gravitational charges and its unit of measurement is [kg s -1 ]. It defines the quantity of gravitational charge that passes by unit of time: I = d q d t = d d t M d = d dt d = d d t Here we may see the two forms of gravitational current: conduction current, determined by the time variation of charge, and displacement current, determined by the time variation of flux. The surface density of gravitational charge J is defined like its electrical counterpart J E : J = d M d t =γ d 0 d t 8 ravitational Potential The gravitational potential measured at a distance R from a gravitational charge q, with = 0 when r =, is given like its electric counterpart by:[1] R = d r= q R 4 π 1 r d r= q 2 4 π [ 1 R r ] 9 ravitational Poisson s Equation = 1 q 4π R =k q R Applying the auss divergence theorem for a continuous distribution of gravitational charge we may define the total charge q by:[1] q ρ d = d = d

5 ravitational Charge 5 And from it we may extract ρ =. The gravitational field may be obtained by the gradient of the gravitational potential = and its divergent gives a Poisson s equation that is similar to its electric counterpart: = 2 = ρ 10 ravitational Continuity Equation The current of gravitational charge that flows out a closed surface boundary that limits a gravitational charge, invoking the divergence theorem, is: I = d q d t = ρ t d = J d = J d ince this is true for any volume, we may extract the gravitational continuity equation, the mathematical statement of local conservation of gravitational charge (mass): ρ t = J 11 Conclusion The mass of any object may be treated like a gravitational charge q, which has unit of measurement [kg]. The Universal ravitational Constant may be related with a gravitational permeability by an inverse relation =(4 π ) 1, so a more convenient symbol for it is k, the gravitostatic constant, like its electric counterpart k E, the electrostatic constant. Units of measurement of the new gravitational quantities are: charge [kg], current [kg s -1 ], flux [N m 2 kg -1 ], surface charge density [kg m -2 ]; all are similar to their electric counterparts. We have now similar equations for electric and gravitational quantities and we may use the same mathematical tools that we use for electromagnetism in calculating gravitational quantities.
