We investigate the motion of one and two charged non-relativistic particles on a sphere in the presence of a magnetic field of uniform strength. For one particle, the motion is always circular, and determined by a simple relation between the velocity and the radius of motion. For two identical particles, interacting via a cotangent potential, we show there are two families of relative equilibria, called Type I and Type II. The Type I relative equilibria exist for all strengths of the magnetic…
