Welcome to the tag category page for Magnetic dip!
Magnetic moment refers to the magnetic strength and orientation of an object that produces a magnetic field. It can be considered a vector quantity perpendicular to the current loop in the right-hand-rule direction. The SI unit for magnetic moment is the Weber, and it can be measured as the object's tendency to align with a magnetic field, also known as magnetic dipole moment. Objects that have magnetic moments include loops of electric current, permanent magnets, elementary particles, various molecules, and many astronomical objects. The magnetic moment of an atom is equal to the vector sum of the orbital magnetic moments and the constant known as the Bohr magneton. An example of an object with an intrinsic magnetic dipole moment is the electron itself.
