We consider a generalization of Einstein's special theory of relativity (STR) in a 5-dimensional space, or more specifically in a (1+4)-dimensional space with a metric
(+----). In the Extended Space Model (ESM) the particles rest mass m isn't a
constant (as in the STR) but can change the value as a result of interaction with complex systems of charged particles. The action is conjugate to mass. Thus the action serves as 5-th coordinate in the ESM. The (1+3)-dimensional Minkowski space is a subspace of the (1+4) extended space. We considered a 5-vector potential in the ESM, which is a generalization of the usual 4-vector potential of the electromagnetic field. This 5-vector potential creates tensions, which form a 10-component tensor of 2-nd rank. The components of this tensor include the electric and magnetic fields, and 4 more additional fields. One of this additional field is a scalar with respect to the Lorentz transformations in Minkowski space, and the other three - are components of a vector [1].
The fields strength can be converted into each other by rotation in the extended 5D space. With the help of these transformations one can vanish the electric and magnetic fields and transform all energy into four additional fields. The presence of additional components of the field can change the laws of dense multicomponent plasma interaction with an electromagnetic field that can lead to the prediction of some effects which do not fit the traditional picture of electromagnetic radiation interaction with plasma. Another effect that exists in the ESM is the appearance of some spatial scales. The scales are different for different types of particles and interactions. These scales may be associated with the particle size. In the ESM the infinite plane waves, which are compared to particles in the usual field theory are deformed under the action of external influences and can take finite size.
