Scientific paper

We first investigate the form the general relativity theory would have taken had the gravitational mass and the inertial mass of material objects been different. We then extend this analysis to electromagnetism and postulate an equivalence principle for the electromagnetic field. We argue that to each particle with a different electric charge-to-mass ratio in a gravitational and electromagnetic field there corresponds a spacetime manifold whose metric tensor g_{\mu\nu} describes the dynamical actions of gravitation and electromagnetism.
