Figure 3. Circular motion of a pole-dipole particle.
Because it is self-accelerating the circular motion will eventually reach the velocity of
light. The connection with Schrodinger's analysis is reached if one puts in Planck's
constant and m as the electron mass

whereby the circular motion around S produces just the angular momentum h/2 as in
Dirac's equation.
The velocity-of-light result was first obtained by Breit [6], according to which Dirac's
equation predicts a local electron velocity equal to the velocity of light. Even though its
time-averaged velocity is always less than the velocity of light, this means that the
electron, represented by the pole-dipole configuration, makes a circular luminal motion
onto which a subluminal motion of the center of mass Sis superimposed. The trajectory
of the resulting motion is a screw-line, but it is the motion of Sonly which one identifies
with the (time-averaged) electron velocity. The result derived from this simple pole­
dipole model is in beautiful agreement with Schrodinger's analysis of the Dirac equation,
