The magnetic dipole moment is a vector with a direction from the magnet's south to its north pole. The force on a magnetic dipole is due to both poles of the magnet, and we study the magnetic dipole of a bar magnet and assume that the magnet is kept in an undamaged magnetic field B. In such case, the force on the individual poles is coupled as: Instead, the electron’s orbital magnetic moment is obtained by virtue of being trapped in the nuclei (plural of nucleus) potential well. The spin and orbital magnetic moments of atoms combine vectorially in a sample to produce the net magnetic moment of that particular sample. The magnetic strength and orientation of an object or a magnet that creates a magnetic field are defined by the magnetic moment . We know that loops of electric current, permanent magnets, and astronomical objects have a magnetic moment . A magnetic moment is a quantity that represents the magnetic strength and orientation of a magnet or any other object that produces a magnetic field. More precisely, a magnetic moment refers to a magnetic dipole moment , the component of the magnetic moment that can be represented by a magnetic dipole.
