Chapter 4: Dipole Equations of Motion<br />

Section 4.1: Introduction<br />

Chapter 4 obtains the classical relativistic equations of motion for pointlike<br />

particles carrying electric charge and electric and magnetic dipole moments.<br />

Radiation reaction is not included at this stage; this is investigated in Chapter<br />

6.<br />

Section 4.2: Newtonian mechanics<br />

Electric and magnetic dipoles are analysed using Newtonian mechanics.<br />

Section 4.3: Lagrangian mechanics<br />

Electric and magnetic dipoles are analysed using Lagrangian mechanics.<br />

Section 4.4: What does the Dirac equation say?<br />

The Dirac equation is analysed, in the Newton–Wigner representation, for<br />

both a pure Dirac and an anomalous Pauli magnetic moment, and the resulting<br />

equations of motion compared to those found in the preceding sections.<br />

Chapter 5: The Retarded Fields<br />

Section 5.1: Introduction<br />

Chapter 5 obtains both manifestly covariant and explicit expressions for the<br />

retarded electromagnetic fields generated by pointlike particles carrying electric<br />

charge and electric and magnetic dipole moments.<br />
