    Show that the Hamiltonian commutes with Angular momentum

    Homework Statement [/B] Parts (c) and (f) are the ones I'm having trouble with; Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution [/B] For (c), I assume the problem is meant to involve using the result from part (b), which was H = g(J2 - L2 - S2)/2 . I was trying just to do it by first showing...

    Potential of particle - why is there a scalar product here?

    I'm reading up on the Lagrangian equation, but what I'm asking is to do with electromagnetism. In the first equation here: http://www.phys.ufl.edu/~pjh/teaching/phy4605/notes/chargelagrangiannotes.pdf L equals the kinetic minus the potential energy. For the potential energy term, I just don't...
