Direction of rotation of proton in magnetic field--opposite to a dipole

I’m not an expert in electromagnetism, but if one of my students (general physics, BSc level) asked, I'd say the following: the rotating proton indeed generates an magnetic field, and it behaves like a …

Magnetic force and work

I believe your first question is quite adequately answered by Qmechanic’s link. Regarding force that do not work, i.e. are perpendicular to motion, there are indeed other examples: In a circular mot …

Unknown isotope

First part: From the formula for the radius, and the fact that magnetic field is the same in both cases, you get: $$ B = \frac{m_1 v_1}{q_1 r_1} = \frac{m_2 v_2}{q_2 r_2} $$ Because you don't know t …

Does existence of magnetic monopole break covariant form of Maxwell’s equations for potentials?

Yes, introducing a magnetic monopole into Maxwell’s equations means the existence of a vector potential that is defined everywhere and everywhere continuous is not possible anymore. In particular, thi …
