Abstract

A neutral atom with a magnetic moment interacts with the magnetic field of a current carrying wire. The interaction leads to a Coulomb-like 1/r potential. Atoms in their strong field seeking state move in Kepler-like orbits around the wire. In the quantum domain this system behaves like a two dimensional hydrogen atom.
