Is there any correlation between mass-energy equivalence and Maxwell's 4th equation?
I wonder, how came in both equations proportionality constant is exactly $c^2$?
$$c^2(\nabla \times B) = \partial E/\partial t$$
where $E$ - electric field
$$c^2m = E$$
where $E$ - energy
I am ...

Do objects have energy because of their charge?
My gut feeling tells me things should have energy because of their charge, like they have energy because of their mass.
Is this possible? Has it been shown? If not then what is missing to make such ...

Conversion of energy to mass with radioactive decay
Consider the following problem:
The nuclei of Am-241 decay by the emission of $\alpha$-particles with a kinetic speed of $8.8 \cdot 10^{-19} J$. In a certain source of Am-241 there are $ 4.0 \cdot ...

How many orders of magnitude in energy spans the domain of validity of the Standard Model?
I am wondering if it makes sense to state that the upper limit is roughly 1012 eV (up to know the physics probed by the LHC seems to be pretty consistent with the SM) and the lower one is ... the ...
