Magnetic resonance involves two coupled resonating systems: the spins and the tuned receiver coil. We simulate the spin system by an equivalent electrical resonator. An analysis of coupled resonators leads to a straightforward derivation of properties such as radiation damping, frequency pushing, and spin noise. The theory is applied to recent experiments (M. Guéron and J. L. Leroy, J. Magn. Reson. 85, 209–215 (1989)). The sensitivity of the spin noise experiment is shown to be T~2~/τ~0~, where 1/τ~0~ is the rate of radiation damping. This result leads directly to a fundamental formulation of the usual signal‐to‐noise ratio,
where m~0~ is the equilibrium magnetic moment, θ is the temperature, and F is the noise figure of the receiver. An equivalent electrical resonator can also be used to describe the active medium of masers. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.
