Abstract
In this problem of the restricted (2 + 2) bodies we have considered two magnetic dipoles of masses M 1 and M 2(M 1 > M 2) moving in circular Keplarian orbit about their centre of mass. Two minor bodies of masses m 1, m 2(m j< M 2) are taken as electric dipoles in the field of rotating magnetic dipoles. These minor bodies interact with each other but do not perturb the primaries.
We have found equations of motions which differ from that of Goudas and Petsagouraki's (1985).
