(a) Define the term magnetic dipole moment for (i) a current-carrying loop and (ii) a bar magnet.
(a) Define the term magnetic dipole moment for (i) a current-carrying loop and (ii) a bar magnet.
(b) Show qualitatively how the magnetic dipole moment for a single circular loop depends on the loop current I and the area A it encloses, and similarly, how for a bar magnet it depends on its pole strength and the distance between its poles.
(c) A circular loop of radius r is said to be equivalent to a bar magnet of length 2ℓ. Identify the physical quantity that must be equal for this equivalence to hold and briefly explain why.
