Area of research: To better understand and explain the Fundamental Nature and Structure of Electron.
Preface: Current understanding & explanation of electron is described as an elementary particle with no known innate structure and the question of charge without mass is being investigated.
The magnetic dipole moment of electron is the cause of it’s spin + electric charge. The charge magnitude of a single electron = 1.602176634×10−19 C (C=Coulomb). One can deduce from this experimentally confirmed value of the charge, no two charges can occupy the same space which has been validated by Pauli’s exclusion principle where two or more identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously.
The above scenario give rise to a fundamental question Does Charge Occupy Space ? If so, how much space as in Volume of Space. This particular question was formulated and posted on Quora on 14 March, 2020 and discussed by responding to comments. https://www.quora.com/Can-an-elementary-particle-such-as-an-electron-have-a-charge-without-mass-If-no-why-not
Hypothesis: Fundamental Nature and Structure of Electron
- Electron in terms of it’s mass occupies a volume of space in 3 dimensions.
- The nucleus of electron in terms of its charge contains the highest density of charge
- The electron nucleus to its neighboring electron nucleus distance/2 would constitute the (r)radius and is compressible where the electrostatic force originates.
