Magnetic Moment for a Current Loop For a current loop, we can define the magnetic moment of the loop as µ = IA And for a coil N turns (loops) of wire carrying a current: µ = NIA Then the expression for the torque can be written τ = µ B

For a coil, it is defined according the the right hand rule for current in a wire loop and is proportional to the coil area and current.

Magnetic Moment of Atoms In atoms with many electrons, the electrons tend to cancel out each other s magnetic moments, but outer-shell, unpaired electrons can contribute a significant magnetic moment. The particles in the nucleus also have magnetic moments, but they are much smaller. Most of an atom s magnetic moment comes from unpaired electons. These tiny magnetic moments add up to big effects in bulk materials.

Three Types of Bulk Magnetism ferromagnetism paramagnetism diamagnetism

Ferromagnetism Atoms of ferromagnetic materials have non-zero magnetic moments. Interactions between outer electrons in different atoms causes alignment of each atom s magnetic moment. Magnetic moments reenforce each other and will tend to spontaneously align within domains.

Paramagnetism Atoms of paramagnetic materials have non-zero dipole moments, but electrons of different atoms do not interact with each other. They can interact with a strong magnetic field, and will align with the field. Paramagnetic effects tend to be much smaller than ferromagnetic ones.

Diamagnetism Diamagnetism occurs in all materials, but is a weak effect, so it is drowned out if a material is ferro- or paramagnetic. It is the dominant (but weak) effect when the net magnetic moment of a material s atoms is zero. The field magnetizes the atoms and the resulting magnetic moments oppose the external magnetic field. Examples of diamagnetic materials: Pyrolytic carbon Bismuth Mercury Silver diamond (form of Carbon) water Also superconductors can be said to exhibit extreme diamagnetism.
