If both point in opposite directions they counteract one another and have the value of J=L-S or J=0. If they point perpendicular toward eachother they do not influence eachother because the dot product is zero. So J=1 Author Posts Viewing 1 post (of 1 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
