Calculate the magnetic moment of an electron (with g=2). What is the Larmor precession frequency of this electron in a magnetic field of flux density 0.3T? What is the difference in energy of the electron if its spin points parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field? Convert this energy into a frequency.
