In a uniform external magnetic field, the resultant force on the plane current carrying coil is zero but the torque is not zero. This torque makes the magnetic moment m of the coil turn to the same direction as the direction of the external magnetic field B; In uniform radial distribution In the external magnetic field, the plane current carrying coil is deflected by torque. The working principle of many motors and electrical instruments is based on this.

The magnetic moment can be expressed as a vector. The direction of the magnetic moment of the magnet is Guide pole point Refers to the North Pole The magnetic moment depends on the magnetism and quantity of the magnet. It is not just magnets that have magnetic moments, Current carrying circuit Electronics molecule or planet And so on, all have magnetic moments.
Scientists have yet to discover the existence of Magnetic monopole commonly Magnetic material The magnetic field of Taylor expansion Of Multipole expansion , due to Magnetic monopole The project is equal to zero. The first project is Magnetic dipole Item, the second item is Magnetic quadrupole (quadrupole), and so on. The magnetic moment is also divided into magnetic dipole moment, magnetic quadrupole moment and so on. From the magnetic dipole moment and the magnetic quadrupole moment of the magnetic moment, the magnetic dipole item and the magnetic quadrupole item of the magnetic field can be calculated respectively. As the distance increases, the magnetic dipole moment becomes more important and becomes the main item. Therefore, the term magnetic moment is often used to refer to the magnetic dipole moment. In some textbooks, the definition of magnetic moment is the same as that of magnetic dipole moment.

In any physical system, there are two basic sources of magnetic moment:
  • charge The motion of, like an electric current, produces a magnetic moment. As long as we know all the current density distribution (or the position and speed of all the charges) in the physical system, we can theoretically calculate the magnetic moment.
  • Like electronics proton A class of elementary particles will produce magnetic moments due to spin. The magnitude of the intrinsic magnetic moment of each basic particle is a constant, which can be deduced theoretically, and the results obtained have also been verified to be highly accurate through experiments. For example, the measured value of the electronic magnetic moment is − 9.284764 × 10 joules/Tesla. The direction of the magnetic moment is completely determined by the spin direction of the particle (the measured value of the electronic magnetic moment is negative, which means that the magnetic moment of the electron is in the opposite direction to the spin).
The net magnetic moment of the whole physical system is the vector sum of all magnetic moments. For example, hydrogen atom The magnetic field of is the vector sum of the following magnetic moments:
  • The spin of the electron.
  • The electrons move around the orbital region of the proton.
  • The spin of the proton.
As another example, the vector sum of the intrinsic magnetic moment of the unpaired electrons and the orbital magnetic moment of the material constituting the bar magnet is the magnetic moment of the bar magnet.

Intrinsic attributes of particles. Each particle has a certain intrinsic magnetic moment. Spin s Point particle The magnetic moment μ of is given by μ=g (e/2m) p, where e and m are the charge and mass of the particle respectively, g is a numerical factor, and p is the spin angular momentum. Spin zero Particle magnetic moment Is zero. For a particle with 1/2 spin, g=2; for a particle with 1 spin, g=1; for a particle with 3/2 spin, g=2/3. In theory, g=1/s is generally given.
The magnetic moment of particles can be measured by experiments. However, the experimental results do not agree with this, and the difference between them is called abnormal magnetic moment. For electrons, muons proton And neutrons, and accurately measure their g factors as
Electronic g l2 =1.001159652193(10)
Muon g l2 =1.001165923(8)
Proton g l2 =2.792847386(63)
Neutron g l2 =-1.91304275(45)
There are two sources of the anomalous magnetic moment of particles: one is the radiation correction of quantum electrodynamics, which is the case for electrons and muons. Even for point particles, the effect of the electromagnetic field generated by the particles on their own leads to a small change in the spin magnetic moment, which can be precisely calculated with quantum electrodynamics, and the results are in good agreement with the experimental measurements; On the other hand, due to the internal structure and strong interaction of particles, protons and neutrons belong to this situation. The abnormal magnetic moments of protons and neutrons are used to analyze their internal structures.

Note that because of the negative sign in this equation, the magnetic moment of the electron is opposite to the spin. For this physical behavior, Classical electromagnetism It is assumed that the spin angular momentum is generated by the electrons around a certain axis of rotation. Because the electron is negatively charged, the current generated by this rotation is in the opposite direction, and the magnetic moment generated by this current carrying circuit is in the opposite direction to the spin. The same reasoning, positively charged Positron (Electronic Antiparticle )Its magnetic moment is in the same direction as the spin.

  • The orbital motion of the electron, when in the ground state, produces a magnetic moment that is often proportional to the external magnetic field( Diamagnetism Contribution)
  • According to the nuclear spin configuration, Nuclear spin The total magnetic moment generated.

  • carbon dioxide Molecule, CO two , a very weak magnetic moment generated by the movement of the electron orbit, which is proportional to the external magnetic field. In some rare cases, if the molecule is composed of magnetic isotopes, such as C or O, the isotope nucleus will also contribute its nuclear magnetism to the magnetic moment of the molecule.
