quantum mechanics - Deriving the Pauli-Schrödinger equation from the Dirac equation



Since the Schrödinger Pauli equation describes a non-relativistic spin ½ particle. This equation must be an approximation of the Dirac equation in an electromagnetic field. I was trying to derive this but I got stuck at a point. The free particle Dirac can be reduced to the equations σi(pi+eAi)uB=(Em+eA0)uA.σi(pi+eAi)uA=(E+m+A0)uB


I multiplied both sides of the first equation by (E+m+eA0) to get the Schrödinger Pauli equation. I was not able to eliminate uB completely from the equation. Can someone help me with the derivation?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
