In the Stern-Gerlach experiement, what's so special about the magnetic field that causes the electrons to behave like they do? How would you explain this in layman terms?
We learned that whenever a charged particle passes through a 'normal' magnetic field, a force F = qvB acts upon it, unlike the magnetic field in that experiment which causes the electrons to divert based on their spin value.
Thanks,
