  2. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    The earliest models for electron spin imagined a rotating charged mass, but this model fails when examined in detail: the required space distribution does not match limits on the electron radius: the required rotation speed exceeds the speed of light. [4]

  3. Electron mobility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility

    Then the electron mobility μ is defined as =. Electron mobility is almost always specified in units of cm 2 /(V⋅s). This is different from the SI unit of mobility, m 2 /(V⋅s). They are related by 1 m 2 /(V⋅s) = 10 4 cm 2 /(V⋅s). Conductivity is proportional to the product of mobility and carrier concentration. For example, the same ...

  4. Spin–orbit interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–orbit_interaction

    The spin magnetic moment of the electron is =, where is the spin (or intrinsic angular-momentum) vector, is the Bohr magneton, and = is the electron-spin g-factor. Here μ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\mu }}} is a negative constant multiplied by the spin , so the spin magnetic moment is antiparallel to the spin.

    The atom would then be pulled toward or away from the stronger magnetic field a specific amount, depending on the value of the valence electron's spin. When the spin of the electron is ⁠+ + 1 / 2 ⁠ the atom moves away from the stronger field, and when the spin is ⁠− + 1 / 2 ⁠ the atom moves toward it. Thus the beam of silver atoms is ...

  6. Drift velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity

    The formula for evaluating the drift velocity of charge carriers in a material of constant cross-sectional area is given by: [1] =, where u is the drift velocity of electrons, j is the current density flowing through the material, n is the charge-carrier number density, and q is the charge on the charge-carrier.

  7. Speed of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity

    In general, an electron will propagate randomly in a conductor at the Fermi velocity. [5] Free electrons in a conductor follow a random path. Without the presence of an electric field, the electrons have no net velocity. When a DC voltage is applied, the electron drift velocity will increase in speed proportionally to the strength of the ...

  8. List of electromagnetism equations - Wikipedia

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  9. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    The photon can be assigned a triplet spin with spin quantum number S = 1. This is similar to, say, the nuclear spin of the 14 N isotope, but with the important difference that the state with M S = 0 is zero, only the states with M S = ±1 are non-zero. Define spin operators:
