Nonrelativistic Dynamics of the Point with Internal Degrees of Freedom and Spinning Electron

Abstract

Nonrelativistic formalism is developed, which allows describing systems with internal degrees of freedom in the scalar potential field U, which is a function both on relative coordinates and time, and on relative speed and accelerations. The equation for energy, which is an integral of motion when U satisfies to certain differential condition, is derived for the general case. For a free mass point all solutions of the equations of motion in the center-of-inertia reference frame, moving with constant velocity, are obtained. As a result, the center of mass follows along a complicated trajectory round a direction of motion of the center of inertia. This motion can be interpreted as Zitterbewegung. It is shown that equation of moments is a consequence of the equation of motion. The general equation of motion for a spin which can be interpreted from positions of a classical mechanics is written down. Application of the obtained results to the electron leads to new conception of electrical charge, sign of which corresponds to a sign of spin polarization.
