Bohr magneton

  • Spin is not a Classical Rotation

    An electron rotates and creates a magnetic field.In an attempt to explain the electron spin in a classical model, one can assume that it is just a rotating charged particle causing a magnetic moment. However, such an approach results in contradictions which renders a classical explanation of the intrinsic magnetic moment of an electron obsolete.
