Motivation for proposed experimentation in the realm of accelerated E. M. systems: A preliminary design for an experiment
An experiment, designed to determine the difference between fields-magnetic and electric-surrounding a uniformly moving charge as contrasted with the fields surrounding an accelerated charge, is presented. A thought experiment is presented to illustrate the process.

A possible solution to Sommerfeld's riddle
An application of standard electromagnetic theory to noninertial systems leads to fundamental problems that culminate in a riddle concerning space charges that cannot possibly exist. A solution is proposed by adapting the constitutive relations so that they become also applicable to noninertial frames. The adaption has been constructed to be consistent with a number of classical experiments and with more recent ring laser experiments. New experimentation is proposed that can further substantiate or refute the proposed adaptation.
