Question:

Suppose we want to verify the analogy between electrostatic and magnetostatic by an explicit experiment. Consider the motion of i) electric dipole p in an electrostatic field E and ii) magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B. Write down a set of conditions on E, B, p, m so that the two movements are verified to be identical.

Solution:

pE sin θ = μB sin θ

pE = μB

E = cB

pcB = μB

p = μ/c
