Precessional frequency in H-NMR

Suppose we have a hydrogen nucleus. Now, let's apply an external magnetic field $B$. As the magnetic field is applied, the hydrogen nucleus undergoes precessional motion about its own axis with ...

Why does Larmor precession occur in NMR?

Larmor precession is the phenomenon that in NMR the spin (and by default also the magnetic dipole moment) of protons does not line up with the applied magnetic field but rather precesses around this ...
