Document Summary
Lecture 6 notes - electron magnetic dipole moment. Connect the theory of electromagnetism to the phenomena of permanent magnets. Apply ampere"s law in symmetric cases to find the magnetic field strength. In the next section we will be looking into the answers to these questions. Imagine a electron orbiting around an atomic nucleus. This is a moving charge and thus it behaves like a microscopic electronic current. It is these atomic current that generate the magnetic fields of a piece of magnetized iron. Magnetism results from the properties of the electrons in the atoms that make up these ferromagnetic materials. One more time because this is an important statement, Magnetism results from the properties of the electrons in the atoms that make up these materials. So, let"s try to apply what we know to the electron orbiting the nucleus in order to develop an understanding of the basis behind some behaviours.
