Description
The magnetic field generated by an electron bound in a spherically symmetric potential is calculated for eigenstates of the orbital and total angular momentum. General expressions are presented for the current density in such states and the magnetic field is calculated through the vector potential, which is obtained from the current density by direct integration. The method is applied to the hydrogen atom, for which we reproduce and extend known results. (author)
