Abstract
The classical theory of the electron with zitterbewegung is formulated in a five-dimensional curved Kaluza-Klein metric which introduces the electromagnetic field Amu and a scalar field phi . The interaction of spin with the electromagnetic field, which was not considered in our previous work, arises straightforwardly from the five-dimensional theory.Keywords
