is the magnetic field of the electrons circular? what orbitals obey when they make the magnetic field?
I am talking about electrons in conductor with current.Mentz114 said:S91, your question shows you haven't bothered to look up Maxwell's equations and tried to learn these things for yourself. The magnetic field of a moving charge can be easily calculated, and depends on the path of the charge, so your question should specify which electrons you mean.
Look up Maxwell's equations on Wiki, or HyperPhysics.
The magnetic field of an electron is a vector field that describes the strength and direction of the magnetic force exerted by the electron. It is created by the movement of the electron, which generates a current and produces a magnetic field.
Yes, the magnetic field of an electron is circular. In classical physics, this is described by the Lorentz force law, which states that a moving charge experiences a force perpendicular to both its velocity and the direction of an external magnetic field. In quantum mechanics, the magnetic field of an electron is described by its spin, which also has a circular component.
The circular magnetic field of an electron is related to its angular momentum through the concept of spin. Spin is an intrinsic property of particles, including electrons, and is related to their angular momentum. The spin of an electron produces a magnetic dipole moment, which in turn creates a circular magnetic field.
The magnetic field of an electron is important because it plays a crucial role in many physical phenomena. It is essential for understanding the behavior of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields, as well as for applications in technology, such as in magnetic storage devices and medical imaging.
Yes, the magnetic field of an electron can be changed or manipulated. In experiments, scientists can use external magnetic fields to alter the direction and strength of an electron's magnetic field. Additionally, the spin of an electron can be manipulated through various techniques, such as using magnetic fields or by interacting with other particles.
