Renormalization has always been considered an unsatisfactory remedy. In 1985 it was found that Maxwell's equations generally do not have solutions that satisfy the causality law. An additional term for magnetic dipole currents corrected this shortcoming. Rotating magnetic dipoles produce magnetic dipole currents, just as rotating electric dipoles in a material like barium titanate produce electric dipole currents. Electric dipole currents were always part of Maxwell's equations.World Scientific series in contemporary chemical physics ;v.19.Maxwell equationsQuantum electrodynamicsElectronic books.Maxwell equations.Quantum electrodynamics.537.67Harmuth Henning F26280Barrett T.
