(a) A small current loop moves with constant velocity v0 as viewed in the laboratory frame. Find the vector potential A(r) and the scalar potential ϕ(r) in the lab frame. It may be convenient to introduce the vector R = r − v0t.
(b) Take the limit ν<< c in your formulae and deduce that the moving loop possesses both a magnetic dipole moment and an electric dipole moment.
