Definition: The magnetic dipole moment of a current-carrying loop is a measure of its magnetic strength.
Formula: It is defined as the product of the current ( $I$ ) flowing in the loop and the area ( $A$ ) of the loop.
Equation: $m = I A$ .
Vector nature: The direction is perpendicular to the plane of the loop (Right-Hand Rule).
Units: Ampere-meter squared (A·m²).
