This paper studies the properties of magnetic and electric fields, and in the field of micro electromagnetic interaction are described. Based on the basic principle of the material space theory, this paper proposes a method to calculate the spin magnetic moment of electrons and protons by using the magnetic field strength, and calculates the spin magnetic moment of protons and electrons under specific parameters. The calculated spin magnetic moment of the proton is 4.04035412*10-26J/T, it is close to the reported value of 1.41049964*10-26J/T, the spin magnetic moment of electrons is 6.69044591*10-27 J/T, which is far from the reference value of 9.28674762*10-24J/T, However, if the radius of the electron charge is set as 1.553794368*10-15m, the spin magnetic moment of the electron will be consistent with the reported value in the literature. The research results show that when the magnetic moment of elementary particles is known, the spatial structure of the charge of elementary particles can be calculated by using the method in this paper. This also provides an experimental method to verify the correctness of the proposed method. Key words: Space vector, space curvature, magnetic moment, spin, electron, proton.

Building on the work of Willis, field is expressed through the properties of space Kusch and others, Polykarp Kusch and his collaborators vectors used improved magnetic resonance technology to precisely measure the magnetic moment of an electron, Description of electric charge in material space winning the 1955 Nobel Prize in physics. Measurement theory method of electronic magnetic moment is magnetic Material space theory defines three-dimensional mass as resonance method, Polykarp Kusch and his collaborators electric charge, and its space description and mass first completed the accurate measurement of the electron expression are as follows: magnetic moment. The current accurate measurement is: g/2=1.001 159 652 180 73 (28) (Hanneke et al., 2008, In the material space theory, three-dimensional mass is 2009). Because the measured result is different from the defined as electric quantity. In the material space theory, predicted value of quantum mechanics, it is called three-dimensional mass is the space field of cylindrical anomalous magnetic moment. Isidor I. Rabi improved spiral structure, whose field equation structure can be molecular beam - magnetic resonance (NMR) method is described as: used to establish the method of measuring nuclear magnetic moment. In the paper published by Haitao (2019) the forms of electromagnetic interaction in the micro field from different perspectives were discussed. One is to define (1) the magnetic field strength and electric field strength of electric charge under the framework of the material space theory (HaiTao, 2018) through the property of space vector, and obtain the expression of electromagnetic (2) interaction force. The other is based on the principle of differential geometry (Spivak, 1979). By using the The expression of three-dimensional mass is: description of the relationship between curved space and force by general relativity (Carmeli, 1982), the magnetic field strength and electric field strength of charge are (3) defined by the curvature and winding rate of space. The two definitions are consistent in terms of magnetic field Magnetic field with electric charge strength and magnetic field interaction, but differ by one inverse of the time factor in terms of electric field strength Add the space vectors of electric quantity, and we get a and electric field interaction. In this paper, the author will new vector r, which can be expressed as follows: use the above two definitions to discuss the forms of electromagnetic interaction in the microscopic field by comparing the calculated magnetic moment of electrons (4) and protons with the measured results. For the first time to understand the readers convenient reading of the According to the parallelogram rule of vector addition and material space theory, we restate the material space parametric equations of the vector r is a circle equation, 146 Int. J. Phys. Sci. and the sagittal curve represents a circle. According to (8) the relationship between the sagittal curve is drawn in the opposite direction (counterclockwise and clockwise). We define a function φ as a potential function of the When the two space vectors are added, they are electric field E. So what we are talking about here is in multiplied by the velocity vector. The multiplication the microscopic domain, the properties of a three method of the vector is cross product. We get a new dimensional mass entering three dimensional space, and vector: obviously, this property is generated in the form of a vector field, Therefore, it can be considered that after (5) entering three-dimensional space, three-dimensional mass will have intrinsic properties of magnetic field The vector B and C & r conform to the right-handed spiral intensity and electric field intensity, and the properties of relationship, and are in the same direction as the tangent magnetic field intensity and electric field intensity are line of the sagittal curve of the space vector r. We define determined by the spatial structure of three-dimensional vector B as the magnetic vector of a three-dimensional mass and combined forces. mass, and the intensity of the field is the intensity of the magnetic field. The unit of magnetic field intensity is: m2/s. Since the vector r is a variable vector whose Single three-dimensional mass direction extends to the rotation of the circle with radius r, the magnetic field intensity vector is also a variable vector For a single three-dimensional mass, its magnetic field whose direction extends to the tangential rotation of the intensity and electric field intensity are calculated as circle with radius r. follows: We can find that the vector field made up of magnetic field intensity is a vector field with curl. We integrate the Suppose: the spiral radius of the three-dimensional mass circle l of the vector B with radius r, and then ratio it to the is r, and can be obtained from Equation 21: circle area S.

  • The Magnetic Moment of a Bar Magnet and the Horizontal Component of the Earth’S Magnetic Field
    260 16-1 EXPERIMENT 16 THE MAGNETIC MOMENT OF A BAR MAGNET AND THE HORIZONTAL COMPONENT OF THE EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD I. THEORY The purpose of this experiment is to measure the magnetic moment μ of a bar magnet and the horizontal component BE of the earth's magnetic field. Since there are two unknown quantities, μ and BE, we need two independent equations containing the two unknowns. We will carry out two separate procedures: The first procedure will yield the ratio of the two unknowns; the second will yield the product. We will then solve the two equations simultaneously. The pole strength of a bar magnet may be determined by measuring the force F exerted on one pole of the magnet by an external magnetic field B0. The pole strength is then defined by p = F/B0 Note the similarity between this equation and q = F/E for electric charges. In Experiment 3 we learned that the magnitude of the magnetic field, B, due to a single magnetic pole varies as the inverse square of the distance from the pole. k′ p B = r 2 in which k' is defined to be 10-7 N/A2. Consider a bar magnet with poles a distance 2x apart. Consider also a point P, located a distance r from the center of the magnet, along a straight line which passes from the center of the magnet through the North pole. Assume that r is much larger than x. The resultant magnetic field Bm at P due to the magnet is the vector sum of a field BN directed away from the North pole, and a field BS directed toward the South pole.

  • PH585: Magnetic Dipoles and So Forth
    PH585: Magnetic dipoles and so forth 1 Magnetic Moments Magnetic moments ~µ are analogous to dipole moments ~p in electrostatics. There are two sorts of magnetic dipoles we will consider: a dipole consisting of two magnetic charges p separated by a distance d (a true dipole), and a current loop of area A (an approximate dipole). N p d -p I S Figure 1: (left) A magnetic dipole, consisting of two magnetic charges p separated by a distance d. The dipole moment is |~µ| = pd. (right) An approximate magnetic dipole, consisting of a loop with current I and area A. The dipole moment is |~µ| = IA. In the case of two separated magnetic charges, the dipole moment is trivially calculated by comparison with an electric dipole – substitute ~µ for ~p and p for q.i In the case of the current loop, a bit more work is required to find the moment. We will come to this shortly, for now we just quote the result ~µ=IA nˆ, where nˆ is a unit vector normal to the surface of the loop. 2 An Electrostatics Refresher In order to appreciate the magnetic dipole, we should remind ourselves first how one arrives at the field for an electric dipole. Recall Maxwell’s first equation (in the absence of polarization density): ρ ∇~ · E~ = (1) r0 If we assume that the fields are static, we can also write: ∂B~ ∇~ × E~ = − (2) ∂t This means, as you discovered in your last homework, that E~ can be written as the gradient of a scalar function ϕ, the electric potential: E~ = −∇~ ϕ (3) This lets us rewrite Eq.

  • Units in Electromagnetism (PDF)
    Units in electromagnetism Almost all textbooks on electricity and magnetism (including Griffiths’s book) use the same set of units | the so-called rationalized or Giorgi units. These have the advantage of common use. On the other hand there are all sorts of \0"s and \µ0"s to memorize. Could anyone think of a system that doesn't have all this junk to memorize? Yes, Carl Friedrich Gauss could. This problem describes the Gaussian system of units.

  • Magnetic Moment of a Spin, Its Equation of Motion, and Precession B1.1.6
    Magnetic Moment of a Spin, Its Equation of UNIT B1.1 Motion, and Precession OVERVIEW The ability to “see” protons using magnetic resonance imaging is predicated on the proton having a mass, a charge, and a nonzero spin. The spin of a particle is analogous to its intrinsic angular momentum. A simple way to explain angular momentum is that when an object rotates (e.g., an ice skater), that action generates an intrinsic angular momentum. If there were no friction in air or of the skates on the ice, the skater would spin forever. This intrinsic angular momentum is, in fact, a vector, not a scalar, and thus spin is also a vector. This intrinsic spin is always present. The direction of a spin vector is usually chosen by the right-hand rule. For example, if the ice skater is spinning from her right to left, then the spin vector is pointing up; the skater is rotating counterclockwise when viewed from the top. A key property determining the motion of a spin in a magnetic field is its magnetic moment. Once this is known, the motion of the magnetic moment and energy of the moment can be calculated. Actually, the spin of a particle with a charge and a mass leads to a magnetic moment. An intuitive way to understand the magnetic moment is to imagine a current loop lying in a plane (see Figure B1.1.1). If the loop has current I and an enclosed area A, then the magnetic moment is simply the product of the current and area (see Equation B1.1.8 in the Technical Discussion), with the direction n^ parallel to the normal direction of the plane.

Although the concept of a magnetic pole is sometimes useful, it is diácult to relate precisely to observation; for example, all attempts to find a magnetic monopole have failed, and the model of permanent magnets as magnetic dipoles with north and south poles is not particularly accurate. Consequently moving charges are normally regarded as fundamental in magnetism. Basic observations 1.

Boyer Department of Physics, City College of the City University of New York, New York, NY 10031 (July 5, 2001) Abstract A fundamentally new understanding of the classical electromagnetic inter- action of a point charge and a magnetic dipole moment through order v2=c2 is suggested. This relativistic analysis connects together hidden momentum in magnets, Solem's strange polarization of the classical hydrogen atom, and the Aharonov-Bohm phase shift. First we review the predictions following from the traditional particle-on-a-frictionless-rigid-ring model for a magnetic moment. This model, which is not rela tivistic to order v2=c2, does reveal a connection between the electric field of the point charge and hidden momen- tum in the magnetic moment; however, the electric field back at the point charge due to the Faraday-induced changing magnetic moment is of order 1=c4 and hence is negligible in a 1=c2 analysis. Next we use a relativistic magnetic moment model consisting of many superimposed classical hydrogen atoms (and anti-atoms) interacting through the Darwin Lagrangian with an external charge but not with each other. The analysis of Solem regarding the strange polarization of the classical hydrogen atom is seen to give a fundamen- tally different mechanism for the electric field of the passing charge to change the magnetic moment. The changing magnetic moment leads to an electric forcebackatthepointchargewhichi)isoforder1=c2, ii)depends upon the magnetic dipole moment, changing sign with the dipole moment, iii) is odd in the charge q of the passing charge, and i v) reverses sign for charges passing on opposite sides of the magnetic moment.
