Abstract
THE natural unit of angular momentum postulated by Dr. Wiels Bohr, of Copenhagen, in his researches on the theory of spectral lines actually exists. It is the angular momentum of the magneton. Rejecting entirely the idea of magnetic or electric substance, the magneton may be regarded as an inner limiting surface of the, formed like an anchor-ring. The tubes of electric induction which terminate on its surface give it an electric charge, the magnetic tubes linked through its aperture make it a permanent magnet.
