Orbiting electrons form a current loop which give rise to a magnetic field.
Magnetic moment of a current loop:
  iA
current
area
enclosed
by current
loop
Since the current is defined as the direction of
flow of positive charge, the orientation of the
magnetic moment will be antiparallel to the
angular momentume of the electron and can be
found using the right hand rule.
The current loop of the orbiting electron sets up a magnetic dipole which
behaves like a bar magnet with the north-south axis directed along .
Kepler’s Law of areas: A line that
connects a planet to the sun sweeps out
equal areas in equal times.

You expect a number of equally
spaced “satellite lines” displaced
from the emission lines by multiples
of the Larmor frequency.
Remember that not all transitions are
allowed. “Satellite” lines appear at
the plus or minus the Larmor
frequency only and not at multiples of
that frequency.
So we have seen that the current loop created by an electron orbiting in an atomic
creates a dipole moment that interacts like a bar magnet with a magnetic field.
For many atoms, the number and spacing of the satellite lines are not what we
would expect just from the orbital magnetic moment….there must be some
other contribution to the magnetic moment.
The electron
has its own
magnetic
moment, and
acts as a little
bar magnet as
well.
dq
Classically: you could imagine a
scenario where the electron had
some volume and the charge were
distributed uniformly throughout that
volume such that if the electron
spun on its axis, it would give rise to
current loops.

magnetic moment comes from the spin of

In addition to the orbital magnetic moment, we must take into account the spin.

We have learned about how an external magnetic field
interacts with the magnetic moments in the atom, but if we look
at this from the point of view of an electron, we realize that the
electron “sees” a magnetic field from the apparent orbit of the
positively charged nucleus.
