In my textbook, and on many websites it says that when placed in a magnetic field and then due to Lenz’s law a magnetic dipole moment is created in atoms and so the material gets attracted to the magnet? But then in the case I bring the magnet close to the material very slowly( so the change in...

I'm having a bit of trouble with this exercise because, even if I understand the physics of the dipole-dipole interaction in an ideal classical system, I don't get to know how to approach this problem. I've got a few doubts about how this system would work. First of all, what would be the...

Hi, I would like to know why a particle with spin=0 can't posses a magnetic dipole moment? Using Wigner-Eckart theorem for ##\langle j,1,m,0|j,m \rangle## I get ##\langle j'|| \vec{J}|| j \rangle = \hbar \sqrt{j(j+1)} \delta_{jj'}## It seems like the right hand side is the magnetic dipole...

hi every one what is the amount of orbital magnetic dipole moment of proton? this different with the intrinsic magnetic.

I thought I could replace r^ with z^ and |r|=z since it's only in the z-direction. Is it okay for me to do that? Also, do I need to consider the magnetic dipole moment, m, only in the z-direction as well? Or can I just keep it as m? So assuming that I can replace r^ with z^ and keep m as just...
