Question

How does a current loop behave as a magnetic dipole?

Answer 1

Answer:

A current carrying loop acts like a Bar Magnet with a north and a south pole. ... We find that the magnetic field of both of them is same. That tells us that a current carrying loop acts like a bar magnet. One of the faces of the current carrying loop becomes the North Pole and other becomes a South Pole.

Answer 2

Explanation:

A current carrying loop creates a magnetic field around it. The strength of the magnetic field created depends on the current through the conductor. At the centre of the loop the magnetic feild lines are perpendicular to the plane of the loop and behaves like a magnet.
