vitality00 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 How is magnetism caused for a single particle/atom, do all single particles have a magnetic field (proton, neutron, electron) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 All fundamental charged particles with spin have a magnetic moment. The magnetic field of composite particles depends on the particles that comprise them and what state they're in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_magnetic_moment The classical analogue is a charge moving and enclosing an area, but it's QM so one can't tie this into any movement or charge distribution.
