Small extra Zeeman shifts measured in the ground states of /sup 85/Rb and /sup 87/Rb have previously been shown to be due to the hyperfine interaction to second order coupled with the Zeeman interaction to first order. Approximate theoretical calculations yielded effective frequencies for the two isotopes of 0.016 Hz/T and 0.18 Hz/T, respectively, in good agreement with experiments. We calculate exactly the same shift for the 1s and 2s states of /sup 2/H by perturbation differential equations. For the 1s and 2s states the respective frequencies are 2.61 x 10/sup -5/ Hz/T and 2.56 x 10/sup -5/ Hz/T.
