Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Larmor frequency of the electron in a magnetic field of 0.335T is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

When a magnetic moment is placed in the proximity of the magnetic field, it will try to align alongside the direction of magnetic field. When a magnetic moment placed at some finite angle with respect to the magnetic field direction, the field will exert a torque on the magnetic moment. This torque thus applied makes the magnetic moment to rotate about the magnetic field. The frequency with which it rotates is known as Larmor frequency.
