I just want to verify that the dipole moment [itex]\vec{m}[/itex] in the presence of external magnetic field [itex]\vec{B}[/itex] will line up in the the same direction and parallel with the external field. This is according to the right hand rule that if magnetic field is the direction of the thumb, the current will circulate in the direction of the finger. So the [itex]\vec{m}[/itex] will be in same direction of the external magnetic field.
Also the point of the [itex]\vec{m}[/itex] is the north pole.
But the electron orbital will spin at opposite direction of the current since electron direction is opposite to current.
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
Alan
