Hello, I have this problem. I calculated the dipole energy of a dipole moment in an external field using the equation U_m=\frac{1}{2}\int\vec{A}\vec{J}dr^3=\frac{1}{2} \vec{\mu}.\vec{B} however when the force on a dipole is calculated using \int\vec{J}\times\vec{B}dr^3 the formula...

Hi The energy U of a magnetic dipole in an external magnetic field is given by U = -\mu \cdot B so the energy is zero when they are perpendicular and maximal when they are antiparallel. This makes very good sense intuitively. Quantum-mechanically we have that \mu = -m_Fg_F \mu_B...

As in Feynman's lecture on physics vol 2, he showed that the "true energy" of a magnetic dipole(current loop) in an external B field is m*B, not -m*B. Basically the argument is if you want to pull a current loop from infinity to the final position, you must do extra work to keep the current in...
