The discussion revolves around understanding the properties of magnetic fields and magnetic moments, particularly in relation to their directions and the implications of cross products in vector mathematics.
Some participants have offered guidance on using the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic moment. Multiple interpretations regarding the nature of the magnetic moment are being explored, particularly whether it is a scalar or has a directional component.
There appears to be some confusion regarding the definitions and properties of magnetic moments and fields, as well as the application of vector operations in this context.
Right.krot said:they say that the magnetic field is paralel
to the plane
What's the direction of the magnetic moment?so cross product is 0 (sin 0 =0)
This is incorrect. See: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/magnetic/magmom.html"krot said:from the solution i see that the magnetic moment is a scalar
it doesn't have a direction
Yes.krot said:ok so i go by the right hand rule as the current flows
to determine the direction of moment dipole
