Definition:Gyromagnetic Ratio

Definition

The gyromagnetic ratio of a particle $P$ is the ratio of its magnetic moment to its angular momentum.

Symbol

$\gamma$

The usual symbol used to denote gyromagnetic ratio is $\gamma$.

Its $\LaTeX$ code is \gamma .

Dimension

Gyromagnetic ratio has the dimension $\mathsf {I T M^{-1} }$.

Units

The SI unit for gyromagnetic ratio is radian per second per tesla: $\mathrm {rad \, s^{-1} \, T^{-1} }$ (equivalent to coulomb per kilogram: $\mathrm {C \, kg^{-1} }$).

The CGS unit for gyromagnetic ratio is radian per second per gauss: $\mathrm {rad \, s^{-1} \, Gs^{-1} }$.
