Butch Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) How do they relate? If velocity increases magnetic moment, is charge affected?(Lenz's law). Edited January 1, 2018 by Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdEarl Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The charge of an electron is constant AFAIK. If I am wrong, someone will let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The magnetic moment is given by g(-e/2m)L where g is the g-factor (related to the gyromagnetic ratio), and L is the angular momentum. L can be orbital and/or spin angular momentum, so an electron has an inherent magnetic moment owing to its spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologise for not making my inquiry clear, however it has festered and come into better focus... Consider the following: Electron A has velocity that produces magnetic moment n1, electron B has velocity that produces magnetic moment n2. Would the force between A and B be greater than that stated in Coulomb's law? If not why? On 1/1/2018 at 2:19 PM, Strange said: It doesn't, does it? Hmm, it was my understanding that it did, perhaps I should reread?

swansont Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Velocity does not produce the magnetic moment. It will produce a magnetic field, as would any moving charge. 2 hours ago, Butch said: Okay, if it is orbital L would that not affect the force between particles? Yes, and it would be responsible for a small shift in the energy levels of the atom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
