Question

PROBLEM (BELOW):

Consider the possibility of a parallel (or perhaps orthogonal) Universe, also with two distinct charges, but one in which like charges attract and unlike charges repel. The top picture below shows a hydrogen atom from our Universe, in which the positive proton attracts a negative electron. The lower picture shows a positive proton attracting a positive electron in the parallel Universe. (Incidentally, positive electrons can be created in our Universe. They are a form of anti-matter called positrons.) Would the parallel Universe be different from ours if this were the only difference? Explain your reasoning, giving an example of how nature would or would not be different.

Explanation / Answer

they would have the opposite magnetic moment since the current in the loop is opposite.. so they would itneract with magnetic fields different
