Problem

Assuming that "Coulomb's law" for magnetic charges (

q_m

) reads

\mathbf{F} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{q_{m_1} q_{m_2}}{r^2} \hat{r}, \tag{7.46}

work out the force law for a monopole

q_m

moving with velocity

\mathbf{v}

through electric and magnetic fields

\mathbf{E}

and

\mathbf{B}
