[QUOTE="Harte, post: 207643, member: 443"] Once again, the energy in any EM field is the energy of the photons that govern the field. Photon energy is [B]ENTIRELY[/B] based on the wavelength of the photons (light) and has nothing whatsoever to do with the mass of anything that has invariant mass, such as an electron. An EM field has no mass whatsoever. You mention that the "U" in your equation is not the same as the "E" in E=mc^2. In fact, it is exactly the same. However, the "m" in Einstein's equation stands for the [i]invariant[/i] (rest) mass of an object. Photons are the only objects [B]IN[/B] an EM field, and they HAVE no invariant mass (their rest mass is zero.) What that means is your equation should read: 0 = U / c² = V * ( 0.5 * epsilon * E² + 0.5 * B² / mu) / c² It should be obvious that the above leads to U = 0, and it does - because the U here is the energy equivalent of the mass of the object.
