Apr 24 at 22:04 comment added Teragreg Hi Cosmas, thank you for response. If I'm following you, [r¨=rθ˙2] is the change in radial distance across time, and [rθ¨+2r˙θ˙=b/r] is the change in angle? I was only asking if the monopole in such a situation would behave by circling the wire, never mind describing its path! But your response is a far more detailed and higher level response than I anticipated and i appreciate it!
