Abstract
We find a new correction to hyperfine splitting in the ground state of hydrogen atom in magnetic field. The physical basis for this effect is the reduction of the size of the electron orbit in magnetic field. As a result, the value of the wavefunction at the origin increases which can be called magnetic focusing. Another magnetic-field-induced effect is the appearance of field dependent tensor forces.
