I just wondered how I transform electromagnetic dipole moments.
For example assuming I have magnetic dipole moment μ in a frame without E dipole moment. Then I boost orthogonal to μ. Now I would like to determine the electric dipole moment.
I could use the magnetic potential and transform it to the new frame. But this quiet tedious to me.
My second guess was to argue that there is a linear dependence of the magnetic fields on μ.
And the E field in the new frame will also have a linear dependence on B and thus on μ. By looking at the boost component I could also find a relation. But this would assume that I have an electric dipole moment in the new frame.
I just wondered whether there is any easier and more elegant method.
I would be very glad about any advise.
Thank you :D
