Homework Statement
[itex]d\hat{S}/dt = γ\hat{S} \times \hat{B}[/itex]
What is the physical interpretation of this equation i.e. what is the behavior of the magnetic moment in
an uniform magnetic field?
Homework Equations
I don't think I need any equation for this, just intuition or vector calculus identity?
The Attempt at a Solution
The original question asked me to derive that equation by drawing analogy with classical system.
I said [itex]d\hat{L}/dt =\tau= d\hat{S}/dt= γ\hat{S} \times \hat{B}[/itex]
Thats fine, but i have hard time seeig what this means to magnetic moment (gamma S)
(plus do you guys know why it suddenly doesn't show up in latex mode?)
