Problem

a. An electron moves in a uniform magnetic field around a circle. Any other circle is drawn through it, the OO′ axis of which is directed along the magnetic field. Show that the sum of M + 12π\frac{1}{2\pi} eΦ\Phi, where Φ\Phi is the magnetic field flux through this circle, and M is the electron angular momentum relative to the OO′ axis, does not depend on the electron position. b. Show that the sum of M + 12π\frac{1}{2\pi} eΦ\Phi does not change in the case of the motion of an electron in a uniform magnetic field along a helical line. 267
