Abstract：
In this paper, we discuss how to assign a metric on a principal bundle and howto rewrite the variational principles for a particle and for matter fields in an inva-riant from on the bundle in the principal-bundle formulation of gauge theories. Weshow that the right-translation invariant metric on the bundle must contain quantitieswhich transform exactly as gauge potentials, thus providing a new formalism for gaugefields. And we formulate the variational principle for a particle moving in the gaugefield as follows: The particle moves along a horizontal geodesic on the principalbundle. Starting from this we derive the Wong's equations of motion. Moreover, we elucidate the physical view-point which treats the bundle space asthe union of space-time and the internal space. Advantages of this viewpoint for un-derstanding the essentialities of gauge transformations and gauge invariance and forestablishing unified theories of gravitation and gauge fields are also discussed.
