Derivation of magnetic Coulomb's law for thin, semi-infinite solenoids
arXiv:physics/0611099
Abstract
It is shown that the magnetic force between thin, semi-infinite solenoids obeys a Coulomb-type law, which corresponds to that for magnetic monopoles placed at the end points of each solenoid. We derive the magnetic Coulomb law from the basic principles of electromagnetism, namely from the Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force.
