Chapter 33, Problem 2A
How does the concept of a field eliminate the idea of action at a distance?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: The field eliminate as the idea of action at a distance.
Explanation of Solution
The object with mass can attract other object with mass with its gravitational field in the space around it. Similarly a charged object can attract or repel other object that comes in its electric field.
So, the field acts as intermediate and eliminates the idea of action at a distance.
