Abstract
A recent book rejects the amperian-current model of a magnetic dipole and accepts the magnetic-charge model, because the first model would lead to inconsistencies in the interpretation of Poynting's theorem. It is shown that the inconsistencies are only apparent. The choice between the two models should be based on measurement of the force on a magnetic dipole, which, in nonstationary cases, is different for the two models.Keywords
