Description

The structure of charged particles in Einstein's unified field theory: the theory of the nonsymmetric field: is analyzed. A charged particle is represented through a time-independent spherically symmetric solution to the field equations. Using this idealization, it is shown that the structure of a charged particle is completely determined by the field equations, the condition that the symmetric part of the field be flat at infinity, and the requirement that the particle interact with other charged particles over laboratory distances via the conventional electromagnetic interaction. The structure of a charged particle is described in detail, and the limitations of the idealization of spherical symmetry are discussed. The nonconventional electromagnetic interaction over astronomical distances and its possible empirical consequences are examined
