gyromagnetic ratio
Magnetic moment coefficient
The gyromagnetic ratio is the ratio of a particle's magnetic moment to its angular momentum.
It determines how strongly a spinning charged particle—typically an electron or atomic nucleus—responds to a magnetic field.
The concept is fundamental to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, where different nuclei have characteristic gyromagnetic ratios that determine their resonance frequencies.
