magnetic dipole moment

(General Physics) a measure of the magnetic strength of a magnet or current-carrying coil, expressed as the torque per unit magnetic-flux density produced when the magnet or coil is set with its axis perpendicular to the magnetic field. Symbol: m or j Also called: magnetic moment Compare electromagnetic moment
