Does Magnetic Field (=/need) electron spin + movement of charge?

In summary, charge always maintains its quantum state, even if it is not in motion, which is why magnetic fields can be seen even without moving charges.

A proton can create a magnetic field too, but does it have spins as well? Hmm super confused.

What is a spin?

You need either particle (not necessarily an electron) spin or movement of charge, or both.

Yes. So do neutrons. So do most other elementary particles.

What is a spin?

That's a very general or vague question. Can you ask us a more specific one, or explain what you're looking for? Otherwise you will get all kinds of answers depending on how different people interpret it.

Maybe you need to start by reading a general source like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

and then ask questions about specific things in it.

For magnetic field ...''motion of charge'' is heart of magnetic field...
Either
Linear Motion
Rotational motion
Vibration
Or
Mix Motion..Because this motion of charge make unhidden of magnetic property.

It is weird that the movement of charge cause this invisible field. A charge is weird too; it is a phenomena, based on our observation, that just exists as a property of nature. Physic concepts sometimes get me into an outer body state of mind... Thanks for the inputs!

Welcome...
It's weird...
More special y it's not generating...
But it is always present there with charge...
Only motion make it visible due to field inertia...

If magnetic field come from electric field then...electric field or energy will be convert into magnetic Energy...so this not happen practically.

Charge Q stay Q...even if motion...or not motion...

What you think abut on above statements?

Your above statements definitely helped clarify some questions, but it led to even more questions lol. However, I am now satisfied at leaving the questions I have as questions.
 

1. Does having a magnetic field affect the movement of electrons?

Yes, having a magnetic field can affect the movement of electrons. This is because the magnetic field exerts a force on the charged particles, causing them to move in a circular path perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.

2. How does the presence of a magnetic field affect the spin of electrons?

The presence of a magnetic field can cause the spin of electrons to align with the direction of the magnetic field. This is known as spin polarization and is used in various technologies such as magnetic storage devices.

3. Do all materials have an electron spin?

Yes, all materials have electrons with spin. This spin is an inherent property of electrons and is responsible for many of the properties of materials such as magnetism.

4. Why is the movement of charge important in the presence of a magnetic field?

The movement of charge is important in the presence of a magnetic field because it is what creates the magnetic force. Without the movement of charge, there would be no interaction between the magnetic field and the charged particles.

5. Is the strength of a magnetic field related to the movement of charge and electron spin?

Yes, the strength of a magnetic field is directly related to the movement of charge and electron spin. This is because the magnetic field is created by the movement of charge, and the alignment of electron spin can also contribute to the strength of the field.
