Classical Models of the Electron Spin -- Comparison of the Electric Current Model and the Magnetic Charge Model

Classical Models of the Electron Spin -- Comparison of the Electric Current Model and the Magnetic Charge Model

Ferromagnetic matter finds its microscopic origin in the intrinsic electron spin, which is considered to be a purely quantum mechanical property of the electron. To incorporate the influence of the electron spin in the microscopic and macroscopic Maxwell equations -- and thereby in classical physics -- two models have been …
