Measurements are reported of electron and magnetic field energies in lobes of numbers of radio galaxies, by means of the detection of inverse Compton X-ray emission using ASCA, Chandra and XMM-Newton. Following three important results have been revealed. The first is that the electron energy density dominates the magnetic field one by an order of magnitude in an average. The second is that the electron energy integrated over the lobe seems to be proportional to the intrinsic X-ray luminosity of the active nucleus, while the magnetic energy appears to be relatively independent. The third is that in several objects the electrons are uniformly distributed over the lobes while the magnetic field becomes stronger toward the lobe periphery. These three imply that the electrons play more important role than the magnetic fields in the evolution of the lobes, besides maybe in the jet formation.
