Comment on "Magnetic moments in the Poynting theorem, Maxwell equations, Dirac equation, and QED"

Abstract

The paper ``Magnetic moments in the Poynting theorem, Maxwell equations, Dirac equation, and QED", arXiv:2501.02022, by Peter J. Mohr, purports to show that Maxwell's equation, $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B}=0$, and Poynting's theorem require significant modications for the $\mathbf{B}$ field of a magnetic dipole. We show here that, because of critical errors in the paper, these claims are false, and that Maxwell's equation and the Poynting theorem are the same for a magnetic moment as for any other charge-current distribution.
