Larmor precession

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08376
Precession of the magnetic moment (M) of an object at an angular frequency, ωL, about a static magnetic induction (B0), named after Joseph Larmor.
Note:
Larmor precession can be visually compared to the precession of a tilted gyroscope in an external torque-exerting gravitational field.
