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

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between magnetic fields, electron spin, and charge movement. It is established that both particle spin and charge movement can create a magnetic field, with protons and neutrons also possessing spin. The concept of spin is noted to be complex and requires more specific inquiries for clarity. The conversation highlights the peculiar nature of charge and its role in generating magnetic fields, emphasizing that motion is essential for making these fields observable. Ultimately, participants express a mix of confusion and curiosity about these fundamental physics concepts.

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.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
