Abstract
IN the five-dimensional theory of the connexion between electromagnetism and gravitation first proposed by Th. Kaluza (Sitzungsberichte d. Berl. Akad., 1921, S. 766; see also O. Klein, Zs. für Phys., 37, 875, 1926), the equations of motion of an electrified particle may be shown to be the equations of geodetics belonging to the following line element:
