Felix Bloch developed the nuclear-induction description of nuclear magnetic resonance. A precessing transverse magnetization generates an oscillating magnetic flux and therefore a voltage in a surrounding coil. The signal provides direct access to the collective motion of nuclear magnetic moments. His equations include both precession in the applied magnetic field and relaxation toward equilibrium, connecting the coherent nuclear motion with the decay and recovery measured in an experiment.[ref]
