Generalized angular momentum in a radial monopole field
ID: generalized-angular-momentum-in-a-radial-monopole-field
For a radial conservative force plus the magnetic-type force , the torque equals . Subtracting from ordinary angular momentum therefore produces a constant vector. Its dot product with is , so motion lies on a cone about that vector. At , ordinary planar central force motion is recovered. This is the classical radial magnetic monopole angular-momentum correction.
