Description

We find that the composite fermion (CF), which is the magnetic flux quanta attached to the electron, although based on experimentally observed fractions in the quantum Hall effect, is inconsistent with the classical electrodynamics. It produces new quasiparticles which have usual charge and spin but their motion in a curved path does not produce magnetic field. This "zero-field" production is inconsistent with the classical electrodynamics. The attaching and detaching of magnetic flux quanta to the electron also violates the theory of relativity.
