A small question, do all + charged particles have the same spin direction?

AI Thread Summary
All positively charged particles do not have the same spin direction, as spin is an intrinsic property independent of charge. The concept of spin in quantum mechanics differs from classical dynamics and should not be conflated with classical notions of rotation. Additionally, the speed of a particle does not correlate with its charge; rather, charge and spin are distinct characteristics. The discussion emphasizes that spin is a fundamental aspect of particles like electrons, similar to mass and charge. Understanding these properties is crucial for developing theories in particle physics.

A small question, do all +charged particles have the same spin direction, and if they do, does their speed relate to their degree of charge?

This might sound stupid, but its for a theory I have. Thanks in advance.

Spin is independent of charge.
 
Donot relate the spin possessed by the electron to the analogous classic dynamics spin meaning. In electron's case , spin is an intrinsic property of an electron , and just like an electron has a mass, charge , it also has a property called spin . Spin is not related to charges.
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
