Wait A Magnetic Moment

Consider an elemental ring of radius  \(r_{es}\)  on a sphere,  an electron is spinning around this ring with an angular velocity,  \(\omega\),


The current due to this is,

\(I=q\cfrac{\omega}{2\pi}\)

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

\(M=I\pi r^2_{es}cos(\theta)=q\cfrac{\omega}{2\pi}\pi r^2_{es}cos(\theta)\)

\(M=\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } q\omega { r }^{ 2 }_{es}cos(\theta)\)

Now we consider the summation of all such moments confined to a sphere of radius  \(r_{es}\),  up to  \(\theta=\cfrac{\pi}{2}\)


\(s_e=\int^\frac{\pi}{2}_0{\frac { 1 }{ 2 } q\omega r^2_{es}cos(\theta)}dr\)

\(s_e=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } q\omega r^2_{es}\int^\frac{\pi}{2}_0{cos(\theta)}dr\)

\(s_e=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } q\omega r^2_{es}\)

And so, the spin of an electron is,

\(S_e=2s_e=q\omega r^2_{es}\)

At light speed,

\(S_e=qc r_{es}\)

And given  \(n\)  valence electrons,

\(S_e=2ns_e=nq\omega r^2_{es}\)

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,

\(S_e=nqc r_{es}\)

Which is very interesting, provided  \(e=e_s4\pi r^2_{es}\)  when  \(r\rightarrow0\).  So, why and how would a magnetic moment change?
