Is the magnetic field of the electrons circular?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the nature of the magnetic field generated by electrons, particularly in conductors with current. It emphasizes the importance of understanding Maxwell's equations to grasp how the magnetic field behaves based on the path of moving charges. The question posed lacks specificity regarding which electrons are being referenced, highlighting a need for clarity. Participants suggest that further research into established physics resources would enhance understanding. Overall, the conversation underscores the complexity of magnetic fields in relation to electron movement in conductive materials.

is the magnetic field of the electrons circular? what orbitals obey when they make the magnetic field?

S91, your question shows you haven't bothered to look up Maxwell's equations and tried to learn these things for yourself. The magnetic field of a moving charge can be easily calculated, and depends on the path of the charge, so your question should specify which electrons you mean.

Look up Maxwell's equations on Wiki, or HyperPhysics.
