Chapter 32, Problem 5Q

An electron in an external magnetic field B ext has its spin angular momentum Sz antiparallel to B ext . If the electron undergoes a spin-flip so that Sz is then parallel with B ext , must energy be supplied to or lost by the electron?

Consider a simple hydrogen atom where an electron orbits around a proton. Suppose a small magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the plane of orbit. Show that if the orbit radius does not change, then the angular velocity of the electron would change by Δω = t eB 2m
If an electron in an atom has an orbital angular momentum with ml = 2, what are the components (a) Lorb,z and (b) μorb,z? If the atom is in an external magnetic field that has magnitude 33 mT and is directed along the z axis, what are (c) the potential energy Uorb associated with the electron's orbital magnetic dipole moment and (d) the magnitude of the potential energy Uspin associated with the electron's spin magnetic dipole moment? If, instead, the electron has ml = -1, what are (e) Lorb,z, (f) μorb,z, (g) the potential energy Uorb associated with the electron's orbital magnetic dipole moment and (h) the magnitude of the potential energy Uspin associated with the electron's spin magnetic dipole moment?
