19. The v · μ X E and v · d X B terms in (17) were obtained previously in [1] and [8], respectively, from the interactions of the dipoles in the rest frame, even though the Lagrangian is written in the laboratory frame. But both these heuristic arguments may be justified using (5).

22. 0 in Ref. [8], two different fields are applied to the two arms of the interferometer. However, in the regions where the electric field changes spatially, the beam would experience a force, unlike in the present proposed experiment. If the particles also have a magnetic moment μ, then (μυ/dc) ≪ 1 is required for the phase shift experienced by μ due to the electric field [1] to be neglected.
