The Evans Equations of Unified Field Theory - Alpha Institute for ...

evaluate attraction or repulsion at various distances from the source. Likewise
where an electrical charge exists, a field is imagined to be present around it. The
whole idea of “unified field theory” is to combine the gravitational and electrical
descriptions. Both are very similar with respect to the field description.
We use the term potential since there is an ability to do work on a charge
or a mass even if none is present.
In Figure 2-8 assume there is a source of energy in the center gray circle.
Build a circular grid around it and establish a distance r. The field varies as the
inverse of the distance squared, 1/r 2 . The potential itself is a scalar and is
proportional to 1/ r. The field is a vector. There is a direction in which the
potential “pushes” or “pulls.” The force resulting from the field will vary as 1/r 2 .

The field strength at a distance from a charge or a mass decreases
as the inverse square of the distance. Potential = a constant / r
