Abstract:
In a recent paper Das et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 147, 164102 (2017)JCPSA60021-960610.1063/1.4999408] proposed the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) for the Brownian harmonic oscillator in the presence of a magnetic field and the non-Markovian thermal bath, respectively. This system has been studied very recently by Hidalgo-Gonzalez and Jiménez-Aquino [Phys. Rev. E 100, 062102 (2019)PREHBM2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.100.062102] and the Fokker-Planck equation was derived using the characteristic function. It includes a few extra terms in the FPE and the authors conclude that their method is accurate compared to the calculation by Das et al. Then we reexamine our calculation and which is present in this comment. The revised calculation shows that both methods give the same result.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
