Relativistic Correction to the Movement of Magnetic Poles

The equations of motion, modified by the relativistic correction to a rotating inclined magnetic field, are discussed. It is shown that the magnetic moment would precess under the influence of the retardation torques identifiable by several higher-order terms in the relativistic correction. The observed cyclical behaviors from the clock-like pulseemitting pulsars reported by many researchers are likely to be the consequences of the retardation effect produced by an inclined magnetic moment of a spinning body. The results, which come from the study of two independently rotating magnetic moments, are in agreement with the observed pulsar data for the pulsar PSR B1828–11. These electromagnetic driving forces are presented for further exploration and discussion.
