Is magnetism affected by gravity?

Question

Is magnetism affected by gravity?

Answer 1

Not to the first approximation.  Perhaps in a relativistic environment.

Answer 2

It is, and here's how.  Classical electromagnetics are represented by Maxwell's equations, but they are used in Euclidean geometry.  If you choose a non-Euclidean geometry to represent spacetime as it is warped in the presence of mass, you could still use Maxwell's equations, but in that geometry.  One of Einstein's earliest confirmations was the bending of light near a large mass.

Any affect would be hard to detect outside of an extremely intense gravitational field, such as close to a neutron star or black hole.

Answer 3

Magnetism is not affected by gravity.

Answer 4

Not really. Magnetism is a field of electrons moving at a very fast speed. They have so much inertia that earth's gravity has little or no affect on it. It maybe affected by a black hole's gravity, but I can't test that question! LOL

Answer 5

No, there is no evidence that it is.  Magnetism and gravity are both distinct forces.
