1. magnetic moment

   The magnetic moment is a measure of an object's tendency to align with a magnetic field. It represents the strength and orientation of a magnetic source. For an atomic particle, it is generated due to the movement of electric charge, such as electron spin or orbital motion. For a larger object, it is determined by the object's magnetization, shape, and size. It is usually represented as a vector. Its direction lies along the axis of the magnetic dipole, from the negative to the positive pole, and its magnitude relates to the strength of the magnetic field created by the source.

1. Magnetic moment

   The magnetic moment of a magnet is a quantity that determines the force that the magnet can exert on electric currents and the torque that a magnetic field will exert on it. A loop of electric current, a bar magnet, an electron, a molecule, and a planet all have magnetic moments. Both the magnetic moment and magnetic field may be considered to be vectors having a magnitude and direction. The direction of the magnetic moment points from the south to north pole of a magnet. The magnetic field produced by a magnet is proportional to its magnetic moment as well. More precisely, the term magnetic moment normally refers to a system's magnetic dipole moment, which produces the first term in the multipole expansion of a general magnetic field. The dipole component of an object's magnetic field is symmetric about the direction of its magnetic dipole moment, and decreases as the inverse cube of the distance from the object.

1. Magnetic Moment

   The statical couple with which a magnet would be acted on by a uniform magnetic field of unit intensity if placed with its magnetic axis at right angles to the lines of force of the field. (Emtage.) A uniformly and longitudinally magnetized bar has a magnetic moment equal to the product of its length by the strength of its positive pole.
