Abstract
Several applications of the generalized precession equation are presented. First, the magnetic spin precession equation is extended to arbitrary ranks of the polarization tensor. Then it is shown that a transverse electric quadrupole interaction always couples polarization tensors of different rank. A special case of a mixed magnetic dipole–electric quadrupole interaction is solved. To arrive at the time average solution one only needs to invert a matrix of coupling coefficients.
