Is the theory of electromagnetism very incomplete in physical interpretation? [duplicate]

Just like in Newtonian gravity, do we simply accept charge being naturally attracted to the opposite charge with a very similar Newtonian style force? (Coulomb) Shouldn't there be a meaningful theory ...

Does gravity induce charges to form magnetic fields?

We all know that moving electric charges produce magnetic fields. Gravity is said to be equivalent to acceleration which implies movement. Does this mean that an outside observer will see an ...

What is the analog between charges and mass with regards to vector fields? [duplicate]

A way to think about gravitational fields is that they spawn as a consequence of mass literally bending time and space. Is there an analog of this concerning charges and the electric field intensity?

Do electric charges warp spacetime like stress-energy?

I have read these questions: Does charge bend spacetime like mass? Why is spacetime curved by mass but not charge? Where John Rennie says: "Charge does curve spacetime." And where Frederic Thomas ...

Gravity stronger than electromagnetic force in a black hole?

Well, the question has somewhat been answered before, but there's one part missing, which - I'd think - is in conflict with the physical laws. The earlier reply says that the gravitational pull even ...

Charging a black hole?

What would happen if we have a black hole and we start shooting at it a single electron at a time, and go on doing it forever? Would the electrons start to bounce off eventually?
