Answer to Question #282436 in Physics for Almas

Question

Explain Total Angular Momentum with detail and points

Answer 1

The total angular momentum is the sum of all angular momenta of each component. Related to a configuration of electrons, it can be calculated with the following equation:

$$L_T=\sqrt{L(L+1)}\hbar.$$

In this equation,

• L is the azimuthal quantum number,
• $\hbar$ is the Planck's constant divided by $2\pi$.
