Magnetic moment: 1.0000e-1 A·m²

  • The magnetic dipole moment is 1.0000e-1 A·m² (1.078e+22 Bohr magnetons).
  • To increase the moment without changing the current, increase the number of turns or widen the loop area.
  • A larger moment produces stronger torque when the coil is placed in a magnetic field, the basis of all electric motors.

Next stepSwitch to the Torque mode to see the rotational force your coil would experience in a given external field.
