| Abstract: | Electromagnetic fields carry not only energy and momentum but also angular momentum. The angular momentum of the field can
lead to some curious results like the one which is described here.
T Padmanabhan works at IUCAA, Pune and is interested in all areas of theoretical physics, especially those which have something
to do with gravity.
This is based on an article originally published by the author in Physics Education, Vol. 23, No.4, p.285, 2006. |
