Formulas

1. Current Loop as a Magnetic Dipole

τ = IAB sinθ

m = IA

m→ = I A→

m→ = NIA→

τ→ = m→ × B→

2. Revolving Electron, Gyromagnetic Ratio, and Bohr Magneton

I = e/T = ev/(2πr)

A = πr²

m = IA = evr/2

J = mevr

m/J = e/(2me)

3. Magnetic Field of a Bar Magnet

B = (μ0/4π) × [2mr/(r² - l²)²]

B = (μ0/4π) × (2m/r³)

B = (μ0/4π) × [m/(r² + l²)^(3/2)]

B = (μ0/4π) × (m/r³)

4. Torque and Potential Energy of a Magnetic Dipole

τ = mB sinθ

τmax = mB

m = τmax/B

U = mB(cosθ1 - cosθ2)

Uθ = -mBcosθ
