Question

Magnetic moment of a coil is scalar or vector quantity

Answer 1

Answer:

The strength (and direction) of this torque depends not only on the magnitude of the magnetic moment but also on its orientation relative to the direction of the magnetic field. The magnetic moment may be considered, therefore, to be a vector.Magnetic dipole moment of a bar magnet is a vector and it's direction is from South Pole to North Pole. The direction of Magnetic dipole moment of a current carrying coil,for example a solenoid, is determined as follows.
