Are active and passive electric charges equal? |
Abstract _ |
We explore the consequences of a hypothetical difference between active charges, which generate electric fields, and passive charges, which respond to them. A confrontation to experiments using atoms, molecules, or macroscopic matter yields limits on their fractional difference at levels down to $10^{-21}$. |
