Abstract: From the observations that gravity has an action on light and strong magnetic field makes gravitational field varied, describing the gravitational redshift with graviton-photon interaction, relating the energy of the photons and gravitons to the energy density of the fields, we obtained equations, βπ = βππΊ/π0 βB and βπ = βπGπ0βE, for the interaction between the gravitational and magnetic fields and between gravitational and electric ones, respectively. In the equations, the variation of gravitational acceleration by a magnetic or an electric field is determined respectively with the variation of magnetic flux density B or the electric field intensity E and the parameter Ζ which determines the variation of the frequency of photon by gravitational redshift. Treating the gravitational redshift on the surface as a constant, we obtained two Tables to show that as βB is varied from 1 T to 103 T, the weight of 1kg of a body in this field should be varied from 6.13Γ10-5g to 6.13Γ10-2g. Now, we can make a magnetic field with the strength of 2.8Γ103T. And, as βE is varied from 1kV/m to 104kV/m, the weight of 1kg of a body in this field should be varied from 6.53Γ10-11g to 6.53Γ10-7g. It indicates that the variation of gravitational field by a strong magnetic field could be easily measured.

Introduction
The gravitational redshift, light bending by gravity and Shapiro time delay showed that gravity has an action on light. In 2016, it was observed that a strong magnetic field makes gravitational field varied from a neutron star surrounded by a very strong magnetic field (1013G).[1] Therefore, the observations indicate that, the gravitational and magnetic/electric fields can be interacted by each other. The PoundβRebka experiment[2,3] showed that, in gravitational redshift, the frequency of a photon is varied by gravity for that this photon absorbed/emitted an energy of gravitational field. From PoundβRebka experiment, it was presented that, according to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the graviton is accordingly varied by the photon and the electromagnetic field is a good tool to vary the gravitational one.[4-6] And, because a magnetic field is stronger than the gravitational one, the variation of a gravitational field by a strong magnetic field can be measured.[7] Here, by describing the gravitational redshift with quantum field theory, according to the law of conservation of energy, we obtained equations for the interaction between gravitational and magnetic/electric fields.

Graviton-photon interaction and gravity varied by magnetic/electric field
It is known that, in the gravitational redshift, the frequency ππΎ of a photon is varied with
ππΎπ = ππΎπ β1 β ππ /π
π
(1)
Where ππΎπ is the frequency of the light on the surface of the Earth, ππΎπ is the frequency at distance r > π
π (i.e., it was shifted by the gravity), ππ =
2GM π2
is the Schwarzschild radius, π
π is the radius of the Earth.
The frequency of a photon varied by gravity is:
DππΎ = ππΎπ β ππΎπ = πππΎπ
(2)
Please note the symbol D. It is different from β. Here, D only denotes the variation by the gravitational redshift. And, π = 1 β β1 β ππ /π
π
B2
The energy density of a magnetic field is UπΎ =
2ΞΌ0
(3)
, where B and ΞΌ0 are the magnetic flux density and the
magnetic constant respectively. In a volume V, the energy of this field is
EπΎ =
B2 2ΞΌ0
π
(4)
In the same V, the total energy of the photons making up of the energy of this field is EπΎ = nhππΎ , where ππΎ is the frequency of a photon, n is the numbers of the photons in the volume V. Therefore, there is,
nhππΎ =
B2 2ΞΌ0
π
(5)
Eq.(5) shows that, the energy of a magnetic field in a volume V is the sum of the energy of all the photons in this volume.
In Eq.(5), as taking V as a unit volume, n, h and π0 are constant. Thus, ππΎ is only determined with π΅2 .Therefore, we have
ππΎ =
π 2πβπ0
π΅2
(6)
Or βππΎ =
π 2πβπ0
βπ΅2
(7)
Eq.(7) means that the variation of βππΎ is only determined with βπ΅2 .
As shown in Fig.1, in a given volume V, the original energies of the magnetic and gravitational field are respectively EπΎ and Eπ . The total energy is πΈπ = EπΎ + πΈπ . Because of the gravitational redshift, the energy of this magnetic field in the volume V is varied to EπΎ + DπΈπΎ . The energy of the gravitational field in V is accordingly varied to Eπ β DπΈπ . The total energy is πΈπ = (EπΎ + DπΈπΎ ) + (πΈπ β π·πΈπ ). For the law of conservation of
energy, there is DπΈπΎ = π·πΈπ .
πΈπ = EπΎ + πΈπ
πΈπ = (EπΎ + DπΈπΎ )
+(πΈπ β π·πΈπ )

B
Fig. 1. The variation of energy of magnetic and gravitational field in a given volume V. For the law of conservation of energy, although the energies of the gravitational and magnetic fields are varied by each other, in the same volume V, the total energy is still πΈπ .
From Eqs.(5) and (7) we know, as EπΎ is varied, ππΎ also is varied. As pointed out in the above, β is different from D. It means that, βππΎ in Eq.(7) also can be varied by the gravitational redshift. And, from Eq. (2) and (3), there is
DππΎ = πβππΎ
(8)
And, DπΈπΎ = nhDππΎ . Thus, there are two characteristics for the π·πΈπ οΌ1) DπΈπΎ = πβπ·ππΎ = π·πΈπ , and 2) the PoundβRebka experiment[2,3] shows that a photon can absorb/emit an energy of Ξ΅πΎ = hDππΎ of the gravitational field. It means that the energy of the gravitational field absorbed/emitted by a photon is quantized. Therefore, as shown in Fig.2, it is clear, there is π·πΈπ = πβπ·ππ , and
DΟπ = DππΎ
(9)
It is noted that, π·πΈπ = πβπ·ππ is accordant with the well-known theory in current physics that the Newtonian gravitational force is mediated by graviton.[8] In order to clarify this problem, we specially have the Supplementary Information 1.

Fig.2. The redshift of a photon by graviton. The energy of gravitational field absorbed/emitted by a photon is quantized. Therefore, DπΈπΎ = π·πΈπ and DπΈπΎ = πβπ·ππΎ clearly show that π·πΈπ = πβπ·ππ and Dππ = DππΎ .
Therefore, the total energy of gravitational field in V also can be expressed as Eπ = nhππ .
We also can establish the energy density for a gravitational field in a given volume. Near the surface of the Earth, the gravitational field is analogous to a magnetic one. The gravitational lines are approximately parallelly directing outward the center of the Earth. Therefore, the energy density of a gravitational field in a given volume can be simply written as:
Uπ =
Where π = G
π π

(10)

, G is the Newtonian universe gravitational constant G.
The energy of the gravitational field in a given volume is made up of the sum of energy of all the gravitons nhΟπ . Just as the energy of a magnetic field in Eq.(5), we have
nhππ =
π2 2πΊ
π
(11)
Therefore, when the frequency of this graviton is varied DΟπ , the energy of the gravitational field in the
given volume V is varied with
nhDΟπ =

From Eqs. (7), (8), (9) and (12), we have
π 2π0
βπ΅2 =
1 2πΊ
Or
βπ = βπ
G π0
The deduction is also suitable for electric and magnetic fields. The energy density of an electric field is Uπ =
π0 2
E 2 , where π0 is the permittivity of vacuum, E is the electric field intensity. Substituting the densities of
the electric and magnetic field into Eq.(13) we have
βB = βπ0 π0 βE
(15)
It is clear, we can obtain an equation for the gravitational and electric fields:
βπ = βπGπ0βE
(16)
In Eq.(14), in an given volume, because G and π0 are constant, βπΊ/π0 = 2.28Γ10β2 kg β1 mπ΄, if βB is certain, βπ is determined only with π = 1 β β1 β ππ /π
π . It means that, if we let βB = 1T, there is βπ = 2.28Γ10β2 βπms β2 . And, according to the PoundβRebka experiment,[8,9] we can select π = 10β15 . In this case, as βB = 103 T, there is βπ β 7.2Γ10β7 ms β2 and
βπ π
β 7.3Γ10β8 . It means that a weight of 1kg
of a body should be varied 7.3Γ10β5 g as this body is in a magnetic field with B = 103 π. Now, we can make a stable magnetic field larger than 40 T[9] and the largest one with 2.8Γ103 T.[10] This variation can be easily measured.
It appears that 7.3Γ10β5 g is a very large variation. But, we can let the variation much larger for that we can
let π = 1 β β1 β ππ /π
π much larger.
βπ π
β 7.3Γ10β8 is dependent on π = 10β15 which was selected
simply according to the PoundβRebka experiment.[2,3] It is a gravitational redshift by a height of 22.5m. But, Eq.(1) shows that, as a light with frequency of ππΎ0 is first produced on the surface of the Earth, it shall be redshifted with ππΎπ = ππΎ0 β1 β ππ /π
π . i.e., ππΎπ can be determined with the radius of the Earth. Determined with the radius of the Earth, there is π = 1 β β1 β ππ /π
π β 6.95Γ10β10 . In previous, π is stressed. But, on the surface of the Earth, the gravitational redshift is almost same. Therefore, observed on the surface of the Earth, π β 6.95Γ10β10 can be treated as a constant. So, from Eq.(14), there is
βπ β (6.01Γ10β7 kg β1 mπ΄)βB
(17)
In Eq.(15), (6.01Γ10β7 kg β1 mπ΄) is constant, βg is only determined with βB. So, we have Table 1.

However, the data in Table 1 need be confirmed with experiment. But, it indicates that, the variation of gravitational field by a strong magnetic field could be easily measured.

Variation of 1kg (g)
It is noted that, as βg is varied, π = 1 β β1 β ππ /π
π also is varied. Therefore, as βπ/π is large, the variation of π need be considered. From Eq.(1) we know, on the surface of the Earth, ππ /π

Discussions and conclusions
It is emphasized, Eqs.(14) and (16) are valid for that the factor βππΊ/π0 and βπGπ0 make the dimensionalities for them valid. If future experiment shows that the two equations need be revised, the factor βπΊ/π0 and βGπ0 need not be revised. Only a much more accurate and precession Ζ is needed. And, it is assumed that in a given volume, the numbers of the graviton and photon are same. If the number of gravitons ππ π

is different from that of photons nΞ³ , Eq.(14) and (16) need be revised as βπ = βπ nπ π βB and βπ = βπ ππ Gπ0 . Ξ³

It is generally thought that nothing can escape from a black hole. Of course, a magnetic field also cannot escape from it. Intuitionally, it is easy to image that a very strong gravitational field can vary a magnetic field, as well as a very strong magnetic field can vary a gravitational one. In the Supplementary Information 2, we discussed 19 experiments testing the variation of gravity by superconductor and strong electric and magnetic field. These experiments may be possible evidence for Eqs.(14) and (16).
Eqs.(14), (15) and (16) show that: 1) The variation among electric, magnetic and gravitational fields by each other can be described with an analogous equation. 2) Maxwell equations show c =
1 βπ0 π0
. Therefore, from
Eqs.(14), (15) and (16) we know, there are some of relationships among physical constant of π0 , π0 and G. 3) π0 and π0 were called the vacuum permittivity and vacuum permeability. It is thought that they reflect some features of the vacuum.[11-13] In quantum mechanics, a vacuum would not be βemptyβ but with vacuum fluctuations. Therefore, G also may reflect some of features of the vacuum. 4) In the microworld, the features of vacuum reflected by π0 and π0 may be same while in the macroworld they expressed as electric and magnetic fields. Because a graviton is different from a photon, G may be a different reflection of the features of the vacuum in the microworld.
From Eqs(14), (15) and (16) we have:
1 βπ0 π0
βGπ0 =
= 3Γ108
m s
C 2.43Γ10β11 kg β2 C m
{βπΊ/π0 = 2.28Γ10

Where C is the electric charge of Coulomb. Therefore, in Eq.(20), βGπ0 indicates the relationship Q
between the charge and mass, i.e., βGπ0 β , where Q and M are electric charge and mass respectively. Under M the condition that G and π0 reflect some of features of the vacuum, it means that the charge and mass reflect some Q
characteristic of the vacuum. While βπΊ/π0 β v. It reflects the motion of M
Q
.

Now, we cannot know the exact meanings of Eq.(20). Now, it is generally thought that vacuum has some features in both gravity and quantum mechanics. There has been many exploring for it.[14,15] Fortunately, the constant π0 , π0 and G are that that have well shown some aspects of these features in experiment and theory. Therefore, Eq.(20) is a solid ground to further understand the vacuum. And, the relationship among charge, mass and vacuum may be known from Eq.(20).
Electromagnetic and gravitational fields are two very important fields. It is very significant to know the interaction between them. Eqs.(14) and (16) shows that, the gravitational field can be manipulated with electromagnetic field easily. Let Eq.(14) varied with time,
π(t) = βπ
G π0
B(t)
(21)
The gravitational field could be manipulated as that an electromagnetic field is done with the Faradayβs law of induction. For example, gravitational communication[16] should be possible by a varying π(π‘) in Eq.(21). And, a GemDrive[17] could be designed by varying the gravitational field with a strong magnetic/electric field in one part of a spacecraft to produce a gravitational potential difference between two parts of a spacecraft which propels this spacecraft to move. It shall lead to use the gravitational field. In astronomical observation, many gravitational and magnetic fields are very strong. Eq.(14) is useful for this observation.
Graviton-photon interaction was studied long time ago.[18,19] The graviton is usually detected with the gravitational radiation.[20,21] But, in recent, the graviton in the interactive field begun to study.[22,23] Our work could be a new way to study the graviton with the interactive force. (please see the Supplementary Information 1)
From Eq.(15), we can obtain the Faradayβs law of induction. From Eqs.(14) and (15), we know, the gravitational field is more analogous to the magnetic one. But, experiment is needed to exactly know the Faradayβs law of induction for Eq.(15). Because Eq.(16) is analogous to Eq.(15) , by analogous to the Maxwell equations, it could be concluded that there may be βΓπ = βπGπ0
βE βt
. But, we have not had the case to conclude the equation
about the π and B in Eq.(14). So, observations and experiment are needed to exactly know how π and B are varied by each other in Eq.(14).
For Eqs.(14) and (16), the two questions are very important: 1) Is the result of that the directions of the gravitational and magnetic/elecgric fields are parallel different from that the directions are vertical to each other? 2) Is the result of that the two fields are moving relatively different from that are static? These questions only can be known with experiment. Therefore, the two questions provide a new way to further know the gravitational field.

Abstract: The analogy between gravitational field and electric field in the current theory of gravity is simply reviewed. A well-known theory that the gravitational force is mediated by graviton is emphasized. It is shown that, the wavelength of graviton in the interactive (near) field is different from that in the radiative (far) field. The graviton in near field need be studied more deeply and could be detected. Studying and detecting the graviton in both interactive and radiative fields, the characteristics of graviton could be known well. Key words: GravitonβInteractive fieldβRadiative field
In current theory, gravity is usually described with the gravitational field. In the field modal, matter moves in certain ways in response to the curvature of spacetime which is described with Einsteinβs general relativity. Usually, the Einsteinβs field equations are studied and explained by analogous to the equations of electromagnetic field. Under the condition of weak field approximation, a gravitational field is studied by analogous to a moving charge. And, the retarded potential is used usually for the two fields.[1-3]
In the electrodynamics,[1] for a moving charge, the retarded potential can be expressed as the LiΝenard-Wiechert potential
π
Ξ¦(r, t) = |πβπ(π‘ β²)|βπ£[πβπ(π‘ β²)]/π

From Eqs.(1), (2) and (3), let Ξ² = v/c, Ξ³2 = 1 β Ξ²2 , k = 1 β π§ β π and n is a unit vector, we have

Eq.(4) shows that, the electric field of a moving charge is made up of two parts. The interactive part is corresponding to the Coulomb force. The radiative term is the electromagnetic radiation. It is corresponding to the electromagnetic wave. (It is noted that, a moving charge always produces a magnetic field. Here, the magnetic field is not considered.)
In electrodynamics, the LiΝenard-Wiechert potential is well-established. For example, it can be used to accurately describe a moving charge and to make the Maxwell equations linear in matter.
In the theory of gravity, in the weak field approximation, the retarded potential usually is written as[2]

Where πππ is the energy-momentum tensor.
From Eq.(5), we can obtain the LiΝenard-Wiechert potential field for a source m moving with velocity v. And an equation analogous to Eq.(4) for the moving mass can be arrived at:

By researching the gravitational radiation of binary star PSR 1913+16, Hulse and Taylor[5] win the 1993 Nobel Prize in physics.
From Eqs.(1)-(6), it is clearly shown that the gravitational field of a moving mass is very analogous to the electric field of a moving charge. Both of them are made up of two terms: The interactive and radiative terms. It is well known that an electric field of a charge is made up of the near and far fields which are defined with the wavelengths. If the source dimensions are order of d and the wavelength is Ξ» = 2Οc/Ο, there are three regions for this field:
Near (interactive) field:
