Should the analogy between inert mass on the one hand and self-induction of an electric circuit on the other hand, described in every textbook of physics for a better understanding of self-induction, be eventually reality rather than mere analogy? Such an interpretation is so irresistible and harmonious that one is determined to collect even more arguments in favour of this theory; however, one should be careful in doing so, because the enthusiasm for such a plan could blurr the picture. Anyway, such an opinion could really be the key to understand Einstein‘s mass energy relationship E = m0c². To demonstrate this we write three equations one after the other and discuss their interrelations:


E = m0 Einstein’s mass energy relationship
E =   1   L11 i²
 2 
Potential energy of a current-carrying conductor
(energy of self-induction)
E = const  e0²  
λ
  
equation LI (rearranged)

Now, we rearrange the second equation for one electron as usual:


i =   dq   =   e0 * ds   =   e0   * V 
dt s * dt s
     s = total orbiting path of an electron
satisfying the magnetic field theorem
     V = speed of the electron.

Now for the second equation we can write:


  LII  
E =   1   L11   e0² * V² 
2
         Further:
    
E = const *   e0²   c²
