Abstract 
Here,  we  initially  introduced  and  demonstrated  two  principles:  orientation 
OR principle and attraction AT principle of electrical dipoles. The OR prin-
ciple stipulates that any two electrical dipoles P1A, P1B, from two bodies A 
and B, at any distance in the free state each, will be reciprocally oriented pa-
rallel and in the same sense if the electrical interaction forces F between them 
are of decreasing type with distance r. If the electrical interaction forces F are 
of increasing type with distance, the two dipoles will be reciprocally oriented 
parallel  but  on  the  opposite  sense.  The  AT  principle  stipulate  that  any  two 
electrical dipoles P1A, P1B, at any distance in the free state each, will present 
always a reciprocal force of attraction FD in both cases of orientation accor-
dingly to OR principle in case of any type of electrical force F decreasing or 
increasing  with  distance.  These  findings  may  complete  our  previous  work 
where we found that FD force, between two electrical dipoles P1A, P1B consi-
dered  at  atomic  and  nuclear  level,  is  in  fact  the  actual  gravitation  Newton 
force FN.  The  paper  must  be  considered  together  with  this  work  for  more 
consistency.

This  affirmation  excludes  the  electromagnetic  phenomena  which  consist  of 
more complex combinations of electric and magnetic forces originated at atomic 
scales. 
But  it  is  unlikely  that  the  interaction  forces  acting  between  two  electrical 
charges q1, q2 may be perfectly described by mathematical simple laws as in (1), 
at any distances r, and of any scales, in the micro and macro universe. 
At this point of our analysis, the above affirmation is justified by the reality 
complexity or its infinity and also by discrepancies between calculus results of 
actual simple laws from (1), (2) and some experimental measurements and ob-
servations concerning these forces, reported in the past. 
Discrepancies concerning the Coulomb’s law are confirmed by modern expe-
riments,  which  allow  scientists  to  conclude  that  in  the  case  of  very  short  dis-
tances  (such  as  between  molecules,  atoms,  nuclei,  particles)  the  law  (1)  is  not 
precisely correct [1], but also it has not yet been proven in the case of long dis-
tances [2]. In such circumstances, we can conclude that the Coulomb’s law in the 
current form (1) is not perfect and that it can be improved. 
For a more accurate description of the infinite reality, including ether pres-
ence which will be considered throughout this paper, as we previously demon-
strated  [3]  [4]  [5]  [6],  the  most  appropriate  (but  not  singular  mathematical) 
mode of electrical forces description, will be probable, a long or infinite series of 
successive powers of the 1/r distance. 
In the present, it is accepted that macroscopic bodies have a random distribu-
tion of +q and –q charges, which will generate a random distribution of dipoles 
in any direction, and all coefficients ki from (3) are canceled [7].

This means that starting from small distances from any neutral body to infi-
nite distances, the influence of the electric charges from that body is considered 
today to be null. But we will show below that this approach isn’t correctly justi-
fied.

2. Our New Hypothesis and Principles, Concerning the   
Dipole Interactions at Long Distances 
2.1. Justification of Introducing the Two New Principles of Electric 
Dipoles Interaction, OR and AT 
Despite the fact that bodies A, B…, are neutral, the +q and –q charges are in fact 
always separated in space at atomic and nuclear scale, and consequently every 
charge +q or –q will exert its electrical interaction force FC to infinite distance 
according to (1) or to a corrected Coulomb law as in [8] [9] [10] [11]. 
So in nature practically all the matter must be regarded as being organized al-
ways as electrical dipoles P1, P2, P3… as result of Coulomb law action even at 
smallest scales. 
We will show next, that neglecting electrical forces and their potential even for 
distant bodies is not correct because we can admit and demonstrate the follow-
ing two principles: 
a) OR principle of the reciprocal orientation of distant dipoles. 
b) AT principle of the permanent attraction of oriented distant dipoles. 
2.2. Presentation and Justification of OR Principle 
In order to demonstrate the OR principle, we can calculate the torsion moments 
+M  (clockwise)  and −M  (counterclockwise)  created  by  an  oriented  dipole P2 
from body B upon an un-oriented dipole P1 (disposed at 90˚ in body A).   
In this situation (Figure 1) we can distinguish two cases, depending on the 
variation  mode  with  distance r, of  interaction  Coulomb’s  forces F (reference 
frame xOy is attached to A body). 
Case 1a). of decreasing F forces. Firstly, for this calculus, we suppose the inte-
raction forces Fa (attraction for +q/−q charges when Fa < 0, according to (1)) and 
Fr (rejection for +q/+q or –q/−q charges, Fr > 0, according to (1)) between elec-
trical  charges  +q  and –q  as  being  some  vectors F  of  central  orientation de-
creasing with  the  increasing  distance r
l ,  between  body A and  body B  ac-
cording  to  the  law  of  the  general  type  (4),  generalizing  (1),  with n  a  natural

Product qA.qB from (4), (4a) comprises for simplicity, also coefficients k/4πε0. 
Utilizing (4a), we obtained from Figure 1 the clockwise torsion moment +M and 
counterclockwise −M moment, given upon P1 dipole, by forces F from P2 di-
pole, as follows:

This result of M moments ratio rM indicates that the orientation of dipole P1 
will be in the same sense/direction as dipole P2, in this case of the decreasing 
positive forces F. 
Case 1b). of decreasing F forces and sign change. We now must calculate what 
happens in the hypothetical case when the forces F from (4) and (4a) will change 
the sign from positive +F to negative −F forces, including the simple case n = 1:

In this modified Case 1b), we admit hypothetically, an inversion of the actual 
physical rule (attraction force –Fa between +q and –q charges), becoming repul-
sion force +Fr between +q and –q charges and attraction force –Fa between +q 
and +q or between –q and –q charges. 
In this modified Case 1b) the Equations (6) and (7) becomes, considering the 
same senses of rotation of +M and –M moments, as in Figure 1:

This result of the M moments ratio rM indicates that the orientation of dipole 
P1 is in the same sense/direction as dipole P2, also in the case of inverse sign of 
decreasing forces F (as in Case 1a). of decreasing actual forces F). 
So we conclude that changing the sign of F force, have no influence upon the 
orientation rule of dipoles P1 and P2.

This result of M moments ratio rM indicates that the orientation of dipole P1 is 
in the opposite sense/direction as dipole P2, in case of increasing positive forces. 
In Case 2b), of increasing F forces and sign change, when the force F is also as 
increasing with r type, but of reversed sign, is similar to the Case 1b). And hence 
the result of the calculus of rM ratio will be similar: indicating that the orienta-
tion of dipole P1 is in the opposite sense/direction as dipole P2. (as in Case 1b). 
in this case of increasing positive forces F. 
And so at points Case 1) and Case 2), the OR principle was demonstrated. 
The OR principle stipulate that in case of decreasing electrical forces F with r 
the orientation of dipole P1 is in the same sense/direction as dipole P2 irrespec-
tive of sign of F. 
But in case of increasing electrical forces F with r, the orientation of dipole P1 
is in the opposite sense/direction as dipole P2 irrespective of sign of F. 
2.3. Presentation and Justification of AT Principle 
In order to demonstrate the AT principle, will be calculated forwards the resul-
tant force R, appearing between two oriented dipoles, P1A and P1B, according to 
OR principle, given by forces of attraction Fa and by forces of repulsion Fr exist-
ing between +q and –q charges, as in actual FC or completed F, Coulomb’s law. 
It  must  determine  if  the  force R  is  the  attraction  or  repulsion  force,  as  a 
function of the form of the electric force law F. 
The situation of two dipoles P1A and P1B originated in A body and in B body 
respectively,  identically  oriented  and  equal  to  each  other,  with  polar  moment 
value r = q∙l, is presented in Figure 2. The two possible cases of the F force vari-
ation with the distance r between two electric charges will be analyzed below: 
Case 1) the decreasing variation and Case 2) the increasing variation of F force 
with r. 
But we must remind that first calculus concerning the attraction force Fa and 
the rejection force Fr between two farther electrical dipoles was performed by us 
in  [8]  [11],  but  without  presenting  there  the  significance  of  the  result  of  that 
calculus, consisting in the sign of resultant force R. 
Also there in [8] [11], was made a simplification of calculus by introducing a 
substitution: α = kqAqB. 
But here we will emphases that such result, will conduct at a new important 
principle, the AT principle of permanent attraction of electric dipole, described 
firstly here below. 
In order to better understand the origin of AT principle we will resume here 
without the above substitution, the calculus of forces Fa and of Fr from [8] [11] 
performed in the two cases, Case 1 and Case 2, of the F force variation with the 
distance r. 
Case 1). of decreasing F forces. Firstly, we suppose the interaction force Fa (at-
traction) and Fr (rejection) between electrical charges +q and –q as being some 
vectors of central orientation decreasing with the distance r
l , according to 
the laws of the general type, from Equations (4) or (4a).

Figure 2. Forces F acting between a pair of identical oriented dipoles P1A and P1B con-
sidered at atomic and nuclear level, from A and B bodies with xOy frame attached to A 
body. 
 
From Figure 2, we now can calculate directly by simple algebra, utilizing Eq-
uation (4b), the total force upon each dipole, exerted by the other dipole. Here in 
calculus, we consider the + sign for force values having the sense of real force as 
in Figure 2, which corresponds to the attraction force Fa (Fa < 0) and to repul-
sion force Fr (Fr > 0), forces exerted by the charges +q, −q, as in Coulomb law 
(4). 
From  Figure  2  notating  – A

er than the repulsion force Fr and finally an attraction force Ra = Fa − Fr > 0 be-
tween the two identically oriented dipoles P1A, P1B results. This result is correct 
even if the power of r is any n > 1, as can easily be demonstrated.

From (27) it results that in the case of increasing F  forces of the type from 
(23), the repulsion force Fr between two identically oriented dipoles P1A, P1B, 
will be greater than the attractive force Fa and the resultant force Rr = Fr − Fa > 0, 
will be a repulsion force. This result is correct even if the increasing variation has 
the general form F = α'rn with n > 1, as it can easily be demonstrated. 
But in this Case 2 of increasing F forces (23), the natural orientation of two 
dipoles becomes reverted compared with those from Figure 2, according to the 
OR  principle  from  Section  2.2.,  and  the  interaction  force  between  the  two  di-
poles P1A and P1B will be again an attraction force Ra = Fr − Fa < 0 as for de-
creasing forces. 
So, the AT principle stipulate that in case of decreasing electrical forces F with 
r an  attraction  force Ra between  the  two  identically  naturally  oriented  dipoles 
P1A, P1B results. 
Also in case of increasing electrical forces F with r, because the two dipoles 
P1A, P1B will  be  naturally  inverse  oriented  accordingly  to  OR  principle,  AT 
principle stipulate that again an attraction force Ra between the two dipoles P1A, 
P1B results. 
And so, the simultaneous action of OR principle and of AT principle, will give 
birth of a permanent attraction between two any electrical dipoles irrespective of 
F force type. 
The above analytical calculus and its results, yields the above OR principle and 
AT principle, whose result must be real. 
This effect of permanent attraction of electrical dipoles P1A, P1B can be ob-
served also in case of a group in any number of usual magnets mi as spheres of
