A measure of the strength of a magnet or current-carrying coil. In the case of
a bar magnet it is obtained by multiplying the distance between the two
magnetic poles by the average strength of the poles. Same as
→ magnetic dipole moment
See also → dipole moment.
A measure of the magnetic flux set up by the gyration of an electric charge
in a magnetic field.
In atomic and nuclear physics, → spin magnetic moment.
See also: → magnetic; → moment.
