ge 2m an electron has intrinsic angular momentum I called spin and a permanent magnetic dipole moment M L associated with the spin where e is the positive electron charge mis me electron mass and g is a number called g factor An electron with its spin aligned along its initial velocity in the x direction enters a region of uniform magnetic field in the z direction ue to magnetic force the torque on the spin is MX B and perpendicular to M also perpendicular to I Since torque is perpendicular to I therefore it ensures that the spin turns with itial angular velocity pwhich is given by the following equation px ue to charge on the e magnetic force also acts on the electron hat is the value of p 11
