The torque on a dipole in uniform motion
David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo
We calculate the torque on an ideal (point) dipole moving with constant velocity through uniform electric and magnetic fields.
Mansuripur's Paradox
David J. Griffiths, V. Hnizdo
A recent article claims that the Lorentz force law is incompatible with special relativity. We discuss the "paradox" on which this claim is based. The resolution depends on whether…
Time-dependent fields of a current-carrying wire
D. V. Redzic, V. Hnizdo
The electric and magnetic fields of an infinite straight wire carrying a steady current which is turned on abruptly are determined using Jefimenko's equations, starting from the st…
Magnetic dipole moment of a moving electric dipole
V. Hnizdo
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 magnet…
Comment on `Electromagnetic force on a moving dipole'
V. Hnizdo
Using the Lagrangian formalism, the electromagnetic force on a moving dipole derived by Kholmetskii, Missevitch and Yarman (2011, Eur. J. Phys. 32, 873) is found to be missing some…
Spin-orbit coupling and the conservation of angular momentum
V. Hnizdo
In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, the total (i.e. orbital plus spin) angular momentum of a charged particle with spin that moves in a Coulomb plus spin-orbit-coupling potential…
Generalized second-order partial derivatives of 1/r
V Hnizdo
The generalized second-order partial derivatives of 1/r, where r is the radial distance in 3D, are obtained using a result of the potential theory of classical analysis. Some non-s…
Comment on "Preacceleration without radiation: The nonexistence of preradiation phenomenon," by J.A. Heras [Am. J. Phys. 74, 1025 (2006)]
V. Hnizdo
It is argued that a recent claim that there is no radiation in the preacceleration part of a non-runaway solution of the Abraham--Lorentz equation is incorrect.
Comment on `About the magnetic field of a finite wire'
V. Hnizdo
A flaw is pointed out in the justification given by Charitat and Graner [2003 Eur. J. Phys. vol. 24, 267] for the use of the Biot--Savart law in the calculation of the magnetic fie…
Comment on 'Self-dressing and radiation reaction in classical electrodynamics'
V. Hnizdo
Using the canonical formalism, Compagno and Persico [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 (2002) 3629--45] have calculated the 'radiation-reaction' force on a uniform spherical charge moving…
