摘要

We explore consequences of a hypothetical difference between active charges, which generate electric fields, and passive charges, which respond to them. A confrontation with experiments using atoms, molecules, or macroscopic matter yields limits on their fractional difference at levels down to 10(-21), which at the same time corresponds to an experimental confirmation of Newton's third law.
