Title: Do magnets effect the electrons in atoms in any way?
Post by: memoryerase1 on 07/01/2016 22:14:40

Do magnets effect the electrons in atoms in any way.
Can you list all the ways the electron can be effected like speed-ed up, or slowed down.
Not much info on the internet on how magnets effect electrons.
Thank you for your help, anything helps.

Magnets definitely interact with electrons in atoms.

Look EMR (EPR): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_paramagnetic_resonance
