Magnetic dipole moment of a moving electric dipole

Classical Physics 2015-06-03 v2

Abstract

The current density of a moving electric dipole is expressed as the sum of polarization and magnetization currents. The magnetic field due to the latter current is that of a magnetic dipole moment that is consistent with the relativistic transformations of the polarization and magnetization of macroscopic electrodynamics.
