I never understood why electrons have spin... until now!
Support me / floatheadphysics to see how I learn relativity, get sneak peaks, and early video access. Electrons don't really spin. Yet, every chemistry teacher will tell you they do. Everyday. Why do they do that? What does the 'spin' really mean? In this video, we will explore the idea of spin angular momentum. We will see how electrons precess in the presence of an external magnetic field, just like how a spinning table top does. ================================================ Follow me at Linkedin: / maheshshenoyteaches ================================================ Support me and learn more physics at the same time by enrolling in my Udemy course https://www.udemy.com/course/become1d... https://www.udemy.com/course/becomeak... ================================================
