Magnetic dipole moment and Moment of a magnet, they differ because of the size of the magnetic material. Magnetic dipole is the one with opponent poles but separated by a very smalldistance. But, in case of a long bar magnet, the distance of separation of poles would be larger. In such cases, we calculate the moment of the magnet.
Moment of the magnet is equal to the product of the pole strength and the distance between the opposite poles.
Dipole magnetic moment is also the same. But in case of dipole formed due to circulation of electron, its dipole moment is got by the product of current and area of loop made by the electron circulation.

∙ 10y agoFirst answer: It is the force that a magnet can exert on an electric current.
Second answer: property of a charged particle arising while it is spining, 1. Electron is spining on orbital around atom's nucleus, 2. electron spin on its own axis (this spin is intrensic property of electron and not because of its rotation).

Why is the magnetic moment of a nucleus smaller than the magnetic moment of an electron?
Because the charge/mass ratio of a nucleus is smaller than the charge/mass ratio of an electron
What are Magnetic Properties of Metals?
Iron (Fe) Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni) iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt all have magnetic properties. Lodestone is also magnetic and was used to make early compasses a long time ago because it has magnetic metal elements in it.
How magnetic moment of electron is associated with angular momentum of electron?
magnetic moment of a particle is due to its motion around some other orbits or about its own orbit i.e due to its orbital angular momentum or its spin angular momentum.
Is oxygen in its gas form magnetic?
In certain circumstances, yes. Oxygen is paramagnetic, so it is possible to induce a magnetic moment in it by exposing it to an external magnetic field. So basically, liquid oxygen only exhibits its magnetic properties in the presence of a magnetic field.
Why four magnetic materials are strongly attracted to the magnet?
Four common magnetic materials that are strongly attracted to a magnet are iron, nickel, cobalt, and certain alloys of these metals. This is because these materials have unpaired electrons in their atomic or molecular structure, which creates a magnetic moment. When a magnet is nearby, the magnetic field of the magnet aligns the magnetic moments of these materials, causing them to be strongly attracted to the magnet.
Is magnetic moment scalar or vector?
Magnetic moment is a vecotr quantity
Two identical magnets of magnetic moment are joined What will be the resultant magnetic moment?
The resultant magnetic moment is dependent on the orientation in which the identical magnets were joined. If they are joined in opposite direction, the net magnetic moment will go to zero.
Why is magnitude of an electron spin greater than its magnetic moment?
The Spin magnetic moment i approximately the same as the angular magnetic dipole moment. What then do you men by grater magnitude?
Can effective magnetic moment be calculated from negative mass magnetic susceptibility ie diamagnetic substances?
Yes, the magnetic moment can be calculated from the diamagnetic substances.
A steel wire of length l has a magnetic moment M It is then bent into a semi circular arc The new magnetic moment is?
Since, a steel wire is bent into a semi circular arc ,the new magnetic moment will be M
Does sulfur have a magnetic property?
The element does have a magnetic moment. This is because there is one pair of electrons and two individual electron molecules in the valence shell. This is to say that the unpaired electron molecules create a magnetic moment. That is sulfur's magnetic property.
Why nucles contributes less magnetic moment than electron magnetic moment due to spin?
Because it is about 10,000 times smaller. The magnetic moment depends on the strength of a magnet's poles, and on its separation; or, in the case of a current loop, the strength of the current, and the area it surrounds.
Why is the magnetic moment of a nucleus smaller than the magnetic moment of an electron?
Because the charge/mass ratio of a nucleus is smaller than the charge/mass ratio of an electron

Iron (Fe) Cobalt (Co) and Nickel (Ni) iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt all have magnetic properties. Lodestone is also magnetic and was used to make early compasses a long time ago because it has magnetic metal elements in it.
How magnetic moment originate from motion of electron?
Electrons revolve around the nucleus. A revolving electron is equivalent to a current loop. Hence, it produces a magnetic moment.
How atoms give rise to magnetic properties in certain material?
Magnetic fields are cause by the movement of charge , normally electrons each atoms has a magnetic moment
Is the magnetic moment of gas an extensive property or intensive property?
Each atom and molecule will have its own magnetic moment - thus making it an intensive property. If you get a collection of such atoms or molecules in a gas, the total combined magnetic moments will be an extensive property.
