Homework Statement The neutron is a particle with zero charge. Nonetheless, it has a nonzero magnetic moment with z-component 9.66 * 10^-27 A*m^2. This can be explained by the internal structure of the neutron. A substantial body of evidence indicates that a neutron is composed of three...

Well, think about it. If you have a charge, be it a point charge, sphere, or spherical shell, then it has some electric potential. If you bring in a test charge from infinity, you're going to have to do the that amount of work on it to bring it to the charge (assuming the point charge with the...

Stupid me. I was right - I just messed up my units (read it as nano rather than micro). Thanks anyways!

Let me preface this as this is my first post on this forum. I'm a physics major at Virginia Tech and I've lurked the forum for a while to help understand concepts that may not be intuitive initially. I'm stuck on this one concept, so I decided to give posting a shot. Without further ado...
