The
magnetic moment vectors
μsand μlassociated with the intrinsic spin
angular momentum
S and
orbital angular momentum
l,
respectively, of an electron are predicted by quantum theory (and
verified experimentally to a high accuracy) to be given by:


μs= –(e/m)
S,


μl
=
–(e/2m)l


Which
of these relations is in accordance with the result expected
classically?
Outline the derivation of the classical result.
