Description

By adopting the Clifford Bundle language, we recently put forth a satisfactory lagrangian formalism for electromagnetism with magnetic monopoles without a string. Here, by taking advantage of the welcome opportunity of some recent comments by E. Comay (and while answering them), we ''complete'' that formalism. In particular, we show how the Lorentz forces and the motion equations, for both electric and magnetic charges, can be derived from the generalized Maxwell equations: without any further recourse to a variational principle.
