The image above represents magnetic moment of a dipole. To calculate magnetic moment of a dipole, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Magnetic Pole Strength (m) and Distance Seperating Poles (l).
The formula for calculating magnetic moment of a dipole:
M = ml
Where;
M = Magnetic Moment of a Dipole
m = Magnetic Pole Strength
l = Distance Seperating Poles
Let’s solve an example;
Find the magnetic moment of a dipole when the magentic pole strength is 21 and the distance seperating poles is 13.
This implies that;
m = Magnetic Pole Strength = 21
l = Distance Seperating Poles = 13
That is, M = ml
M = 21 x 13
M = 273
Therefore, the magnetic moment of a dipole is 273.
Calculating the Magnetic Pole Strength when the Magnetic Moment of a Dipole and the Distance Seperating Poles are Given
m = M / l
Where;
m = Magnetic Pole Strength
M = Magnetic Moment of a Dipole
l = Distance Seperating Poles
Let’s solve an example;
Find the magnetic pole strength when the magnetic moment of a dipole is 30 and the distance separating poles is 5.

This implies that;
M = Magnetic Moment of a Dipole = 30
l = Distance Seperating Poles = 5
Then, m = M / l
m = 30 / 5
m = 6
Therefore, the magnetic pole strength is 6.

Calculating the Distance Seperating Poles when the Magnetic Moment of a Dipole and the Magnetic Pole Strength are Given
l = M / m
Where;
l = Distance Seperating Poles
M = Magnetic Moment of a Dipole
m = Magnetic Pole Strength
Let’s solve an example;
Find the distance seperating poles when the magnetic moment of a dipole is 80 and the magnetic pole strength is 4.
This implies that;
M = Magnetic Moment of a Dipole = 80
m = Magnetic Pole Strength = 4
That is, l = M / m
l = 80 / 4
l = 20
Therefore, the distance seperating poles is 20.
