For our coils, [math]\displaystyle{ R=.0675 m }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ x=R/2 }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ \mu=4 \pi * 10^{-7} }[/math]
Plugging those values in, we came out with the result that [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{B}=0.004263{I} }[/math]
As the objective of this lab was to find the g-factor for the spin of the electron, we could relate the energy difference between the spin-up and spin-down states with the energy of the resonance photon.
That relationship is given by: [math]\displaystyle{ {h}{\nu}={g_{s}}{\mu_{B}}{B} }[/math], where h is Planck's constant, g is the spin factor, mu_B is the Bohr magneton, and B is the magnetic field strength.
Doing the calculations I came out with a value of g being .8498, with error being .0072.
Calculating off a linear fit, the generated value of g was .796 with error .013.
Using the calculated value as my final answer, gives me the final value as:
[math]\displaystyle{ g_{s}=.8498(72) }[/math]
If I compare this value to the accepted value of g, being 2.0023, I find that my answer differs from the accepted value by over 100 times the standard error, meaning that it is very likely that there was a major systematic error that resulted in my answer being that extreme.SJK 17:39, 18 December 2008 (EST)
