The Electromagnetic Considerations of the Nuclear Force: PART III: An Analysis of the Electromagnetic Contributions to Nuclear Behavior

This theory discusses the role of the electromagnetic force inside the atomic nucleus. Previous nuclear theories have relegated the electromagnetic force as being a relatively minor component, considering only the Coulomb force of the protons. These previous models usually make the incorrect and outdated assumptions of a homogeneously-charged proton and a homogeneously-neutral neutron. With the understanding that quarks are the centers for both the electric charge and magnetic dipole moments within a nucleon, such outdated assumptions are no longer valid. Because of the strong electromagnetic interaction between the internucleon quarks, electromagnetism can, indeed, be the force that holds the nucleons together in an atomic nucleus. Thus, these changes in the understanding of the electromagnetic forces within the atomic nucleus require a more significant role of electromagnetism with regards to the understanding of nuclear behavior. Part III of this series of papers describes how the electromagnetic forces and energies affect the nuclear behavior. New insights and understandings are gained by applying the laws of electromagnetics to the nuclear structure inside an atomic nucleus. In this paper, explanations of bond formation and bond breakage are given in detail, as well as how these processes relate to nuclear fission and nuclear particle decay.
