It is demonstrated, owing to the nonlinearity of QED, that a static charge placed in a strong magnetic field\ $B$\ is a magnetic dipole (besides remaining an electric monopole, as well). Its magnetic moment grows linearly with $B$ as long…
We present a model which determines the correct value of the magnetic dipole moment of the electron. By this, we find a physical meaning for the electron spin.
We show that the known expressions for the force on a point-like dipole are incompatible with the relativistic transformation of force, and in this respect we apply the Lagrangian approach to the derivation of the correct equation for force…
Analytically the forces and torques on a coil in a field of magnetic flux density can be calculated one of two ways. The line integral can be conducted along the coil's wire, summing up the differential force contribution. For each…
We consider the dynamics and thermodynamics of a pair of magnetic dipoles interacting via their magnetic fields. We consider only the "spin" degrees of freedom; the dipoles are fixed in space. With this restriction it is possible to provide…
Current-induced torque is formulated based on the spin continuity equation. The formulation does not rely on the assumption of separation of local spin and charge degrees of freedom, in contrast to approaches based on the $s$-$d$ model or…
