As anyone familiar with Dollards work in Dielectricity knows, the dielectric / counterspatial force (not IN time of course) is the 'cause' for for electrification and (ultimately) magnetism in the system(s).
Read this pages from Dr. Olegs book, he "GETS" it, but doesn't make the connection that this is just the math behind ALL of (well a lot of) Dollards OWN conclusions and logical work regarding dielectricity and its manipulation.
(the part below in RED is my replacement to correct his one ERROR)
Maxwell’s equations by themselves do not provide an answer to whether or not the
‘Faraday induction’ or ‘Maxwell induction’ are real physical phenomena. In Maxwell’s
equations electric and magnetic fields are linked together in an intricate manner, and neither
field is explicitly represented in terms of its sources. It is true, of course, that whenever
there exists a time-variable electric field, there also exists a time-variable magnetic field. This
follows from our equations (7) and (8) as well as from Maxwell’s equations (3) and (4). But, as
already mentioned, according to the causality principle, Maxwell’s equations do not reveal a
causal link between electric and magnetic fields. On the other hand, equations (7) and (8) show
that in time-variable systems electric and magnetic fields are always created simultaneously,
because these fields have a common causative source: the changing DIELECTRIC current [∂J/∂t ]
(the last term of equation (7) and the last term in the integral of equation (8)).
It is important to note that neither Faraday (who discovered the phenomenon of
electromagnetic induction) nor Maxwell (who gave it a mathematical formulation) explained
this phenomenon as the generation of an electric field by a magnetic field (or vice versa).
After discovering the electromagnetic induction, Faraday wrote in a letter of November
29, 1831, addressed to his friend Richard Phillips [4]:
‘When an electric current is passed through one of two parallel wires it causes at first a
current in the same direction through the other, but this induced current does not last a moment
notwithstanding the inducing current (from the Voltaic battery) is continued. . . , but when the
current is stopped then a return current occurs in the wire under induction of about the same
intensity and momentary duration but in the opposite direction to that first found. Electricity in
currents therefore exerts an inductive action like ordinary electricity (electrostatics, ODJ) but
subject to peculiar laws: the effects are a current in the same direction when the induction is
established, a reverse current when the induction ceases and a peculiar state in the interim. . . .’
Quite clearly, Faraday speaks of an inducing current , and not at all of an inducing magnetic
field . (In the same letter Faraday referred to the induction by magnets as a ‘very powerful proof’
of the existence of Amperian currents responsible for magnetization.)
