Abstract
When a charge moves, an electromagnetic field surrounding it appears. This field interacts with circuits, resulting in electromotive and ponderomotive phenomena. When a charge is at rest, the field reduces to the Coulomb field; the magnetic part of the Lorentz force F = qu X B is absent and neither pondero- nor electro-motive forces appear, no matter how magnets and circuits move. It is shown that neither absolute space nor STR are necessary to explain unipolar induction effect.
