electrons move at certain rate produces circular magnetic field. where wire conducting current. produces magnetic field. How about a spinning charge? Does a spinning charge produces magnetic field? If it does, what would be the pattern of the magnetic field? Can we relate this phenomenon to a wire loop conducting current? where the magnetic field produced by a current loop is an inner merged toriod shape.

Yes, the electron has a magnetic dipole field.
So does the neutron! This is because the neutron is itself composed of charged particles (quarks) which have half-integer spin.

It does create a magnetic field, though it is very small. Spinning electrons do create magnetic fields. This is why we have Spin +1/2 and Spin -1/2 electrons. An up spin will give you a different magnetic field and a slightly different energy level than a down spin will.

evaluate a unfastened spinning electron around a nucleus. It has basically one spin sort (the two CW or CCW). finding on which, that atom "factors" in a definite course. it incredibly is using the imbalance of the electron spin. In maximum supplies, the blended outcomes of all of the unfastened electons spinning negate one yet another. yet in uncommon circumstances, the path the atoms element are all of the comparable. This produces an usual charm between all of the atoms. that's why a magnet could be decrease into 2 magnets, and then into 4 ect...

Electrons are point particles and cannot spin.
The spin magentic moment is a misnomer, arising from a time when the origin of the magnetic moment was not understood. It is now known to arise naturally as a relativistic effect on the electron - it is seen in solutions of the Dirac equation.

yes it can. an accelerating electrically charged body produces a magnetic field ( either moving in a straight or circular motion)

seems like it would have to by the rules wouldn' t it? The rest would depend on how the charge was moving as the electron spun.....
