Chapter 32, Problem 5Q

An electron in an external magnetic field B ext has its spin angular momentum Sz antiparallel to B ext . If the electron undergoes a spin-flip so that Sz is then parallel with B ext , must energy be supplied to or lost by the electron?

What is the energy difference between parallel and antiparallel alignment of the z component of an electron’s spin magnetic dipole moment with an external magnetic field of magnitude 0.25 T, directed parallel to the z axis?
What are the measured components of the orbital magnetic dipole moment of an electron with (a)ml=3 and (b) ml=-4 ?
In the figure, an electron accelerated from rest through potential difference V1=1.26 kV enters the gap between two parallel plates having separation d = 19.6 mm and potential difference V2= 52.4 V. The lower plate is at the lower potential. Neglect fringing and assume that the electron's velocity vector is perpendicular to the electric field vector between the plates. In unit-vector notation, what uniform magnetic field allows the electron to travel in a straight line in the gap? I need this in units of mT.
