Lecture
Magnetic Moment and Compass Alignment
Description
This lecture covers the concept of magnetic moment and the alignment of a compass needle. The magnetic field is a superposition of individual fields due to each small segment of a wire forming a loop. The individual fields within the loop add up, while outside the loop they partially cancel out. The lecture explains how the lines of magnetic field close outside the loop, creating a specific alignment pattern.
