The magnetic dipole moment µ acts like a compass needle!
In the presence of external magnetic field a current-carrying loop rotates to align the magnetic dipole moment µ along the field B. The Magnetic Field of a Bar Magnet
How does the magnetic field around a bar magnet look like?
N S Magnets and Matter How do magnets interact with each other? Magnets interact with iron or steel, nickel, cobalt.
Does it interact with charged tape? Does it work through matter? Does superposition principle hold? Similarities with E-field: • can repel or attract • superposition • works through matter Differences with E-field: • B-field only interacts with some objects • curly pattern • only closed field lines Magnetic Field of Earth The magnetic field of the earth has a pattern that looks like that of a bar magnet Horizontal component of magnetic field depends on latitude

1. Orbital motion There is no ‘motion’, but a distribution
Spherically symmetric cloud (s-orbital) has no µ Only non spherically symmetric orbitals (p, d, f) contribute to µ

2. Spin
Electron acts like spinning charge - contributes to µ Electron spin contribution to µ is of the same order as one due to orbital momentum
Neutrons and proton in nucleus also have spin but their µ‘s are much smaller than for electron 1 e same angular momentum: µ ≈ 2 m
