Stern-Gerlach experiment. 5.1.11-11

Get the concept of:
magnetic moment, Bohr magneton, the quantization factor of the magnetic splitting, the electron spin, atomic beam velocity distribution Maxwell, the magnetic field of two conductors

Experiment:
The flow of potassium atoms, which arise in a hot oven, passes along a certain line in a magnetic field twisted pair cable. Under the influence inhomogeneous magnetic field acting on the magnetic moment of potassium atoms, they deviate from the motion in a straight line. By measuring these deviations, we can draw conclusions about the magnitude and direction of the magnetic moment of potassium atoms.
