Calculation of the Spinning Speed of a Free Electron

Abstract

In a recent work, we calculated the magnetic field inside a free electron due to its spin, and found it to be about B = 8.3 × 10 13 T. In the present study we calculate the spinning speed of a free electron in the current loop model. We show that spinning speed is equal to the speed of light. Therefore it is shown that if electron was not spinning the mass of electron would be zero. But since spinning is an unseparable part of an electron, we say that mass of electron is non-zero and is equal to (m = 9.11 × 10 −28 g). KeywordsSpinning Speed, Intrinsic Current, Intrinsic Magnetic Field, The Intrinsic Flux of Electron, Current Loop Model s e hc e Φ = ± . The current loop model is mainly based on the magnetic top model which was first introduced by Barut et al. [9] and used by N. Rosen [10] and L. Schulman [11]. But the magnetic top model was rather primitive as the spin vector was only attached

A Novel Classical Model of the Free Electron

“…Assuming the electron model has a spherically charged shell of radius R, its spin magnetic moment M can be expressed as: To generate the observed magnetic moment by spinning the observed charge, the electron equator would have to spin at more than 200 times the speed of light. Since mass cannot spin faster than the speed of light, an alternative explanation for the large observed spin magnet moment might be a radius larger than R. Now assume that the rotation speed is less than but very close to the speed of light c. The required radius r can be calculated as follows: The value calculated for r is close to that calculated in [3], which is 3.86 × 10 −11 .…”

“…The difference could be attributed to [3] assuming the charge is concentrated in a ring, rather than distributed across a sphere.…”

Investigation of Coulomb’s law and the nature of the electric charge

“…´-E j 0.51 MeV 0.816 10 , 13 and the energy by Planck's formula can be written as Assuming that the electron is a point particle with a radius of ´-2.82 10 m 15 [17,18]. The moment of inertia for the electron is = =…”
