C-Fig. 2.  Comparisons of the COM and Contemporary Models for the Electron.

A.  The contemporary electron model.  The electron represents a locus with which the properties of mass, electrostatic force, intrinsic spin, and a magnetic force have been associated.

1.  Representing the mass component as a sphere, a “visual” model for an isolated electron has been fabricated.

2. 2. The associated electrostatic field of an electron is represented by directional lines.  By convention, lines are directed toward the negative charge of the electron.
   

3. 3. As a result of its intrinsic spin the electron generates a magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the direction of its rotation.  Arrow indicates the direction for a magnetic field.
   

4.  In accelerated translational motion “relative to the observer” the electron manifests a circular magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of translational motion.
