hi
i have to deal with a question, that i do not understand fully:
in my chemistry lesson, my teacher told me, that if you have an aromatic molecule and you put it into a time-constant magnetic field, this would cause electrons to move. if you are not that familiar with chemistry, all you probably need to know is, that aromatic molecules contain electrons that are like the particle in a ring, more or less free to move in a ring.
but as far as i know, if i have a conductor and i put it into a time-constant mangetic field. one does not see any currents at all.
here i have a link for you, that covers this question with some quantum mechanical calculations and they explain it with what they call" quantum coherence", but i do not understand what electromagnetic principle is behind this:

probably, someone here can tell me, what electromagnetic effect actually causes this?
as i do not see, how i could get this from the maxwell equations?
sry, for my english, i am still practising it ;-)
