- TL;DR Summary
- The book (Young and Freedman Univeristy Physics E14) uses the same symbol ##\mu_z## for the magnetic dipole moment associated with orbital angular momentum and the moment associated with spin. Are these the same?
On the first attached page ##\mu_z## is associated with orbital angular momentum (Eq. 41.34). On the following pages (Eq. 41.38) it is associated with spin angular momentum? Are these both part of the same thing? I tried to read further but the book does not address this. In example 41.6 it implies that both contribute to the total as the orbital angular momentum is zero. What is the equation for the total magnetic moment?
