摘要
The force on a macroscopic polarizable body in an inhomogenous electromagnetic field is calculated for three simple exactly solvable situations. By comparing different approaches, we pinpoint possible pitfalls and resolve recent confusion about the force density in ferrofluids. (C) 2002 American Association of Physics Teachers.
