SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on simulating angular momentum and torque in particle interactions, specifically for protons and electrons, using a simulator that operates at varying time scales. The user seeks to incorporate rotational data by calculating torque at the classical electron radius, considering magnetic interactions between charged particles. Key formulas discussed include the Lorentz force equation, F=q(v × B), where B represents the magnetic field. The conversation emphasizes the need for a model that allows for the simulation of electron behavior akin to magnetic dipoles, despite the classical limitations of electron properties.
