| dc.description | In Dirac's hole theory the vacuum state is generally believed to be the state of minimum energy. However it has recently been shown that this is not the case. In [1] it was shown that energy can be extracted from the hole theory vacuum state through the application of an electric field so that the final state has less energy than the vacuum state. In this paper we will confirm the results of [1] by calculating the change in the energy of the vacuum state due to its interaction with a specific electric field. It will be shown that the final state has less energy than the original vacuum state. | |
| dc.description | Major changes. Corrected typos and algebraic mistakes in soem equations. Added some additional material. Basic result unchanged | |
