- A useful vector identity in going from the second
to the third equality is: 8#8 Also remember that the
electric field is irrotational.

- Note that the force density given in class is the
Kelvin force density (for system of dilute dipoles): 13#13 (my notes have a sign mistake in the second
term, I don't know if I am the only one). The corresponding MST for this
force density is 14#14. See Melcher, ibid.

- Note that my equations will differ
from Taylor's in notation and by a factor of 36#36 because of the form of the
electric field equations I am using.
