Abstract

This paper has a didactic aim. The Einstein General Theory of Relativity is very difficult for undergraduates students and also for graduates who have not followed a course of study in gravitational physics. For example, the calculation of some of its known consequences, such as the gravitational time dilation, requires familiarity with space-time metrics. In this paper, starting with the analogy between the electromagnetic field and the inertial one, we want to analyze, through the Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP), some simple effect in a fictious gravitational field by using the inertial potentials in analogy with the electromagnetic ones.
