Use the concept define below,
Let's first look at the classical situation. A charged particle moving round a circular loop had an angular momentum and because it is also a current, it produces a magnetic moment. Therefore, it can be considered to be a magnetic dipole with a moment m?. The magnetic moment and the angular momentum are proportional to each other with the constant of proportionality called the gyromagnetic ratio.
