Abstract

The action of certain static magnetic fields on charged test particles is interpreted as a consequence of the interaction of the particles with electric dipole distributions emitted by other charged particles in relative motion. The dipole model of electric forces was initially conceived to emulate Coulomb's law, but is applied here to a wide class of phenomena, such as forces between parallel conductors, a relativistic correction of Biot--Savart's law, and the magnetic moment of a current loop.
