Is hydrogen atom with a single unpaired electron diamagnetic?
I know that paramagnetism is caused because of the net magnetic dipole moment of an atom with unpaired electrons. On the other hand, all substances exhibit diamagnetism, but the effect is weak and ...

Would somebody feel a magnetic field if they are travelling at the same velocity as a charge?
I am little bit curious about how magnetic fields are being generated when a charge moves.
I want to check if somebody travelling along with a charged particle, would that person experience a magnetic ...

Should electrons from the silk handkerchief align their spins when we put close a permanent magnet?
Should electrons from the silk handkerchief align their spins when we put close a permanent magnet? So to produce an extra magnetic field that will add up to the field of the magnet?

Should electrons as tiny magnets, stick to a permanent magnet if in appropriate conditions?
Should electrons as tiny magnets, stick to a permanent magnet if in appropriate conditions? Why shouldn't the magnet collect them like tiny iron dust?I know they repeal each other but should a certain ...

What is the atomic explanation for why some materials cannot be magnetized? [duplicate]
I have heard many variations on the explanation for why certain materials like iron can be magnetized by being stroked with a magnet, but I haven't yet found any source directly explaining why some ...

Electrons, magnetism and electromagnetic waves
I know that moving charge (such as electrons moving around nuclei) produces a magnetic field. I also know that moving charge (again, such as electrons in atoms) can produce electromagnetic waves, ...

If a magnet was in a cuboid shape, would a magnetically attractive/repulsive force only be emanating from 2 of the 6 sides?
I know this is a really simplistic question, but I just want to check my assumption. Say you had a cuboid-shaped, permanent magnet, with the north pole on the side facing to the right, and the south ...

Why and how exactly do spinning electrons create a magnetic field?
I have just been told that if you had a spinning electron completely isolated, even that one electron would have a magnetic north and south pole. I have also been told that all metals have spinning ...

Electrons crossection distribution inside a direct current wire
If electrons of a DC flow feel mutual magnetic field that should move them towards the center of the wire and in that case their accumulation in the center cause electric repulsion should there be a ...

Direction of magnetic field in cathode ray tube experiment
In the diagram above, the S pole is pointing towards the cathode ray tube, and the magnetic field is coming out of the page causing the cathode rays to deflect upwards.
My question is, if it wasn't ...

Is there any difference in the the electric field of a proton and an electron?
The question which I was wondering about was that how does a positive charged particle know that the other particle is positively or negatively charged? Then I thought that maybe there is some ...

How do magnetic fields due to random motions of charges cancel out in a current-carrying wire?
In my physics textbook, it states that
magnetic fields due to random motions of charges cancel out at every point
I know there's a drift velocity due to force imposed by the electric field, but the ...

Relationship between the magnetic dipole of the electron and the polarisation of its radiation
When passing through a magnetic field, electrons are deflected sideways. This is the basis of the Lorentz force and all Hall effects. If this is done on a larger scale in particle accelerators or, in ...

Why is the spectrometer so big in KATRIN experiment?
I've been studying KATRIN experiment for a popularizing science project and I was wondering, why is the spectrometer so big ? I mean the thing is so huge that they had to carry it over 8000km on the ...
