Wait A Magnetic Moment

Consider an elemental ring of radius  res  on a sphere,  an electron is spinning around this ring with an angular velocity,  ω,


The current due to this is,

I=qω2π

The magnetic moment as a result of this current in a particular direction,

M=Iπr2escos(θ)=qω2ππr2escos(θ)

M=12qωr2escos(θ)

Now we consider the summation of all such moments confined to a sphere of radius  res,  up to  θ=π2


se=π2012qωr2escos(θ)dr

se=12qωr2esπ20cos(θ)dr

se=12qωr2es

And so, the spin of an electron is,

Se=2se=qωr2es

At light speed,

Se=qcres

And given  n  valence electrons,

Se=2nse=nqωr2es

This is not true, the effects of more than one orbiting electrons are not likely to sum simply.  In fact less than n times.

It does sum simply! The electrons are ATTRACTED to one another because of the B field they create, like two parallel current carrying wire.  The electron orbit in parallel and their magnetic moment sum numerically.

At light speed,

Se=nqcres

Which is very interesting, provided  e=es4πr2es  when  r0.  So, why and how would a magnetic moment change?
