A vector theory of electromagnetism and gravitation has indicated a possible equivalence of gravitational energy and electric charge. If true, gravitating masses should exhibit external electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields proportional to Mρ and Mρv, respectively. (M, mass; ρ, density; and v, rotational velocity.) Accordingly, pulsars should exhibit surface fields 3×1021 ⪆ E ⪆ 3×1019V m-1 (consistent with inferred possible particle energies ≡1025eV) and 6×1014 ⪆ B ⪆ 1010G (consistent with B ≡5×1012G, inferred from magnetic dipole radiation effects). For magnetic white dwarfs, predicted fields are E ⪉ 2×1016V m-1 (consistent with the featureless spectra of DC stars) and B ⪉ 1.2×108G (consistent with observations).
