This paper studies the magnetic geodesic flow on the two-torus \(T=\mathbb R^2/(2\pi\mathbb Z)^2\) on which the coordinates \((x,y)\) are defined modulo \(2\pi\). Its flat Riemannian metric is \(g=dx^2+dy^2\) and the magnetic field is given by the \(2\)-form \(F=\cos xdx\wedge dy\). Let us remark that \(F\) is exact, \(F=dA\), with \(A=\sin xdy\). The first theorem completely integrates the flow and, in particular, describes all trajectories in terms of elliptic integrals. There are also three very interesting theorems.
