  Light flavour baryons are studied in a non-relativistic potential model with
colour Coulomb plus linear confinement potential using a simple variational
method. The ground-state masses and magnetic moments of the light baryons are
computed using a spin- and isospin-dependent potential. We extend our scheme to
predict the transition magnetic moments of $B_{(J^P={3/2}^+)} \rightarrow
B_{(J^P={1/2}^+)}\gamma$ processes. We also compute the radiative decay widths
and branching ratios of light baryons. A comparison of our results with those
of other works and experimental data is also presented.
