What is fundamental difference between electric dipole and magnetic dipole.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1. A fundamental difference between electric dipole and magnetic dipole is an electric dipole is built up of two elementary units. The charges (or electric monopoles).
2. In magnetism, a magnetic dipole (or a current loop) is the most elementary element.
3. The equivalent of electric charges i.e. magnetic monopoles are not known to exist.
