Single Idea 21199
[filed under theme 27. Natural Reality / B. Modern Physics / 2. Electrodynamics / a. Electrodynamics
]
Full Idea
The muon, like all fermions, spins - and because a spinning electric charge generates a magnetic field all fermions act like tiny bar magnets.
Gist of Idea
Spinning electric charge produces magnetism, so all fermions are magnets
