Abstract
The use of a rotating coordinate system to solve magnetic resonance problems is described. On a coordinate system rotating with the applied rotating magnetic field the effective field is reduced by the Larmor field appropriate to the rotational frequency. However, on such a coordinate system problems can more readily be solved since there is no time variation of the field. The solution in a stationary frame of reference is then obtained by a transformation from the rotating to the stationary frame. This procedure is equally valid in classical and in quantum-mechanical problems. The method is applied both to the molecular beam magnetic resonance method and to resonance absorption and nuclear induction experiments.
