What is a magnetic dipole? Describe its magnetic field distribution. A current loop with dimensions much smaller than the distance between the loop and the observation point is called a magnetic dipole. This is because the pattern of its magnetic field lines is similar to that of a permanent magnet, as well as to the … Continue reading What is a magnetic dipole?
