In the 5 case when the initial vacuum, |0, in , differs essentially from the final 0 vacuum, |0, out , we find explicitly and compared both the vacuum / h average value of EMT, 0, in|Tµν |0, in , and the matrix element, t- 0, out|Tµν |0, in . In the course of the calculation we solve the problem p of the special divergences connected with infinite time T of acting of the e constant electric field. The EMT of pair created by an electric field from h the initial vacuum is presented. The relations of the obtained expressions : v to the Euler-Heisenberg’s effective action are established. i PACS numbers: 12.20.Ds, 11.10.Wx X r a 1 Introduction Currently, an effective action method, or
