    Is There a More Accurate Equation for the Magnetic Moment of a Solenoid?

    The units on that equation are a little weird. Right now, BAL/4pi is Tm^2 (or gauss*M^2). In my experience, magnetic moment is usually given in Am^2. I think the missing link is the magnetic constant - but adding it in with the 4pi leaves us with Am^3.

    Is There a More Accurate Equation for the Magnetic Moment of a Solenoid?

    Yes, but unfortunately the standard formula for the B field of a long solenoid has a dependence on N (turns). I actually can measure B of my solenoid - its the magnetic moment I'm concerned about. I want to use the B field I measured to get a magnetic moment.

    Is There a More Accurate Equation for the Magnetic Moment of a Solenoid?

    Does anyone have an equation that describes the magnetic moment of a solenoid that does not actually use number of turns as an input? I'm trying to validate a solenoid I have made with something like 11000 turns, but I'm not sure how accurate my number of turns in, so I need a second input...

    Measuring Magnetic Moment of a Torque Rod

    Hello everyone, I am working on producing a torque rod (basically a solenoid) for use in a spacecraft that I am working on here at University of Colorado, Boulder. My requirement for this torque rod is to produce at least 7.7Am^2 of magnetic torque. Currently, I have made a torque rod...
