What if we had a coil of wire?
For N turns:

A Coil of Wire
far from coil: far from dipole:
magnetic dipole moment: - vector in the direction of B
Magnetic Dipole Moment
The magnetic dipole moment acts like a compass needle!
In the presence of external magnetic field a current-carrying loop rotates to align the magnetic dipole moment along the field B.

How do magnets interact with each other?Magnets interact with iron or steel, nickel, cobalt.
Does it interact with charged tape?
Does it work through matter?
Does superposition principle hold?Similarities with E-field:
• can repel or attract• superposition• works through matter
Differences with E-field:• B-field only interacts with some objects • curly pattern• only closed field lines
Magnets and Matter
Horizontal component of magnetic field depends on latitude
Maine: ~1.5.10-5 TTexas: ~2.5x10-5 T
Can use magnetic field of Earth as a reference to determine unknown field.
Magnetic Field of EarthThe magnetic field of the earth has a pattern that looks like that of a bar magnet
An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges – monopoles

Magnetic Dipole Moment
1. Orbital motion
There is no ‘motion’, but a distribution
Spherically symmetric cloud (s-orbital)has no
Only non spherically symmetric orbitals (p, d, f) contribute to
There is more than 1 electron in an atom

2. Spin
Electron acts like spinning charge- contributes to
Electron spin contribution to is of the same order as one due to orbital momentum
Neutrons and proton in nucleus also have spin but their ‘s are much smaller than for electron
same angular momentum: me
