The wobbling motion of the proton when it is placed in a strong magnetic field is called:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wobbling motion of the proton when placed in a magnetic field is known as precession. Precession refers to the rotation of the magnetic moment of the proton around the direction of an external magnetic field. The spinning charge of the proton generates a magnetic field that interacts with the external magnetic field, causing it to rotate or precess. The precession of the proton is a fundamental principle in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.
