Description

Pfirsch [Z. Naturforsch., Teil A 39, 1 (1984)] has shown that the charge and current density in the guiding-center representation have contributions from electric dipole moments and magnetic dipole corrections. These moments are interpreted in terms of elementary guiding-center theory, and their role in the expression for the total momentum density is explained
