Abstract:
We present time-resolved optical absorption and magnetic field effect data on the photochemistry following blue light excitation of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in aqueous solution in the pH range 2.3 to 8.0. Effects of closed form conformations of FAD in ground, excited singlet, and radical pair states exhibit significant influence on the observed kinetics and magnetic field dependence and remarkably, magnetic field effects are observed even at physiological pH where the FAD radical pairs are only 75% less magnetic field sensitive than at pH 2.3.

Energy In A Magnetic Field
Take an ideal inductor with zero resistance. Although it's practically impossible, assume that the coil's resistance is so small that it is practically negligible. The loss of the field's energy to dissipate thermal energy (or heat) is thus...

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
