It's as simple as that. I understand they do have magnetic moments, but can't figure out why.

2"The "Dirac" magnetic moment, corresponding to tree-level Feynman diagrams (which can be thought of as the classical result), can be calculated from the Dirac equation. It is usually expressed in terms of the g-factor; the Dirac equation predicts g = 2 {\displaystyle g=2} {\displaystyle g=2} " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_magnetic_dipole_moment – anna v Jan 07 '22 at 14:31

7Don't expect someone to be able to answer this more definitively than "why do electrons have charge". – Connor Behan Jan 07 '22 at 14:35

I like your answer more, Connor! – benholstder Jan 07 '22 at 17:22

@my2cts why is do you give only 2 cents and not a bit more generous with the tips – Adil Mohammed Jan 07 '22 at 19:40

1I like this one. Because electrons have a property that might as well be called "tiny magnet". MAGNETS: How Do They Work? – mmesser314 Jan 07 '22 at 23:22
