The magnetic field at a distance x from the centre of a current carrying loop of number of turns and the radius , when , (i.e at a long distance from O along the x-axis) is written as:
\n\n\n\n\n\n
Where is called the Magnetic dipole moment of the loop and is the area of the circular loop.
\n\n
Similarly, in electrostatics, for an electric dipole, electric field due to the dipole along its axis,
\n\n\n\n
Here, is the electric dipole moment. This shows the current carrying circular loop is equivalent to a magnetic dipole.
\n\n
For a revolving electron, for 1 revolution number of turns , the equivalent current:
\n\n\n\n
This is expression for the magnetic moment of the loop in terms of loop parameters.
