What is magnetic dipole moment of a current loop? Give its direction if any.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Magnetic dipole moment of a current loop=niA where n=no. of turns in a current loop, i=currnet through the loop and A =are of each turn of the loop. Magnetic dipole moment is a vector quantity. Its direction is perpendicular to the plane of loop directed outwards for anticlockwise current in loop and is directed inwards for clockwise current in loop.
