Abstract
The quantum and classical equations are found which govern the motion of toroidal moments in an external magnetic field. The concrete realiz ation of toroidal moments of higher multipolarities is given, and it i s shown how the toroidal moments interact with each other. We recover the 3-dimensional analogue of the Aharonov-Casher effect. It turns out that the toroidal moments should exhibit quantum scattering on the Co ulomb centre.
