and B are in the same direction. • B is produced by . Where is = R2 I Known as Magnetic dipole moment
In general, = I A, true for any shape of the loop. • A is a vector area, with direction assign by right hand rule.

Torque of a magnetic dipole Torque tends to rotate so that it lines up with B.
Potential energy for the dipole • B makes an angle with the dipole
U has smallest value when and B are parallel - B • Largest when anti-parallel B
z Find the magnetic dipole moment of the loop. All sides have equal length and it carries a current I. a a y a Direction is along the line y = z. x
Important to note • In general, potential energy (PE) can not be defined for a Magnetic field alone. • Since torque on the dipole depends upon the its position with respect to the field, PE can be defined for magnetic dipole in the field. • This PE corresponds to any change in the rotational configuration.
Bar magnet can also be considered to be a magnetic dipole. Field lines do not start or end but continue through the interior of the magnets, forming close loops.
Similarities Electric and magnetic dipole fields vary as r-3 when we are far from the dipoles.
Force on a dipole in a nonuniform field In a uniform field total force on the dipole (electric as well as magnetic) is zero. There is only torque but no net motion In a non uniform field net force is not zero. Dipole may move.
Force on the loop 2 due to 1 is attractive (downward). If, F21< 0
Induced magnetic dipole moments I-Iind • An applied magnetic field can induce dipole moments I+Iind Downward Induced magnetic dipole moment.
Important points • In a non uniform magnetic field, permanent dipoles are attracted towards the source of the field • Induced dipoles are repelledfrom the source of the field. • Similar effect is observed in materials that lack permanent magnetic dipole moments.
Atomic and nuclear magnetism • Magnetic properties depend upon magnetic properties of the individual atoms. • Magnetic material is consists of atomic dipoles dipole moment associated with circulation of electron.
Calculation • We consider magnetic materials to be composed of a collection of atomic dipoles. • These dipoles might align when an external electric field is applied. • An electron circulating about the nucleus can be considered as a current loop of radius r and speed v.
Calculation • Current in the loop = • Bohr’s model • Orbital magnetic dipole moment
Bohr’s magneton • This is a basic unit of atomic magnetic dipole moment
