dc.descriptionWe study the ratio $R\equivμG_E(Q^2)/G_M(Q^2)$ of the proton at very small values of $Q^2$. Radii commonly associated with these form factors are not moments of charge or magnetization densities. We show that the form factor $F_2$ is correctly interpretable as the two-dimensional Fourier transformation of a magnetization density. A relationship between the measurable ratio and moments of true charge and magnetization densities is derived. We find that existing measurements show that the magnetization density extends further than the charge density, in contrast with expectations based on the measured reduction of $R$ as $Q^2$ increases.
