Abstract
The analysis of the ground state energy of Coulomb systems interacting with magnetic fields, begun in Part I, is extended here to two cases. Case A: The many electron atom; Case B: One electron with arbitrarily many nuclei. As in Part I we prove that stability occurs if zα12/7 <const (in case A) and zα2<const (in case B), (z|e| = nuclear charge, α = fine structure constant), but a new feature enters in case B. There one also requires α < const, regardless of the value of z.
