But yes, the main difference here is that either the particle carries a charge or it carries a moment, and both can be considered to interact with A, as I mentioned. | |

| Jul 16, 2012 at 6:34 | comment | added | Konrad Waldorf | I don't quite understand the difference between the effects. As you are writing, A is an electromagentic field, and the particle is charged under it. Whether field or particle are purely electrical or magnetical depends on the choice of a reference frame, and I am tempted to say that it can thus be considered irrelevant. | |
