The splitting between the two energy states is called electron Zeeman interaction

(EZI) and is proportional to the magnitude of B0, as illustrated in Figure 1. The

energy difference between the two Zeeman states is given by ΔE = E(mS = +1/2) -
E(mS = -1/2) = geβeB0/h (in Hz).
Gauss vs Tesla
I've heard magnetic fields are also measured in gauss.
What's the difference?
Gauss (G) is the unit of measurement for B in the older CGS (centimeter-gram-
second) system, whereas tesla (T) is the preferred Système Internationale (SI)
term.  For conversion, 1 T equals 10,000 G. Alternatively, 1 G = 0.1 mT.  Because
the tesla is a relatively large unit, it is most suitably used to define the strength of
the main magnetic field in the center of an MR scanner.  Gauss are sometimes used
when describing much smaller fields, such as those associated with gradients,
radiofrequency coils, or fringe fields at some distance from the MR scanner. 

Magnetic Field Gradient Defined

What is a gradient?  
Whenever a magnetic field differs in magnitude or direction between two points in space, a
magnetic gradient is said to exist.    The gradient (G) is defined as change in field (ΔB) divided
by change in distance (Δs).
As a simple example, let us assume the magnetic field at the two ends of a horizontal bore
scanner are 1.000 T and 1.002 T respectively, and that these locations are separated by 1
meter. The gradient is:

 
Note we have calculated only the magnitude of the gradient. But like the main
magnetic field, the gradient (G) is a vector, possessing
both magnitude and direction. By convention, the direction of the main magnetic
field is designated to be the z-axis. For completeness, therefore, we should say the
gradient (G) is a vector of magnitude 2 mT/meter in the z-direction.  Alternatively,
we could write G = Gz = 2 mT/meter. Since in our example the magnetic field did
not change either direction or magnitude in the x- or y-directions, we can also
state Gx = 0 and Gy =0. 
What is Drift Velocity?
Subatomic particles like electrons move in random directions all the time. When
electrons are subjected to an electric field they do move randomly but they slowly
drift in one direction, in the direction of the electric field applied. The net velocity
at which these electrons drift is known as drift velocity.

Drift velocity can be defined as:

The average velocity attained by charged particles, (eg. electrons) in a material due
to an electric field.

Net velocity of the electrons:

Every material above absolute zero temperature which can conduct like metals
will have some free electrons moving at random velocity. When a potential is
applied around a conductor the electrons will tend to move towards the positive
potential, but as they move, they will collide with atoms and will bounce back or
lose some of their kinetic energy. However, due to the electric field the electrons
will accelerate back again, and these random collisions will keep happening but as
the acceleration is always in the same direction due to the electric field the net
velocity of the electrons will also be in the same direction.

Formula to Calculate Drift Velocity

We can use the following formula in order to calculate drift velocity:
 I=nAvQ

Example:

Let’s consider a current of 3A that is flowing in a copper conductor with a cross-

section of 1mm2 (1×10-6m2)

We know that for copper, n = 8.5 x 1028 per m3

So according to the formula we have,

3 = 8.5×1028×1×10−6×v×1.6×10−19
Where, Q=1.6×10−19 C
Therefore,

v=2.205882×10−4  ms−1  
If the intensity of the electric field is increased then the electrons are accelerated
more rapidly towards the positive direction, opposite to the direction of the
electric field applied.

Mobility of an electron:

The drift velocity of an electron for a unit electric field is known as mobility of the
electron.

Mobility of an electron can be calculated by:
