contents In this article, we combine V. Arnold's celebrated approach via the Euler-Arnold equation -- describing the geodesic flow on a Lie group equipped with a right-invariant metric \cite{Arnold66} -- with his formulation of the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field \cite{ar61}. We introduce the \emph{magnetic Euler-Arnold equation}, which is the Eulerian form of the magnetic geodesic flow for an infinite-dimensional magnetic system on a Lie group endowed with a right-invariant metric and a right-invariant closed two-form serving as the magnetic field. As an illustration, we demonstrate that the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the generalized Camassa-Holm equation, the infinite conductivity equation, and the global quasi-geostrophic equations can all be interpreted as magnetic Euler-Arnold equations. In particular, we obtain both local and global well-posedness results for the magnetic Euler-Arnold equation associated with the global quasi-geostrophic equations.
