The figure shows a current loop ABCDEFA carrying a current i = 3.95 A. The sides of the loop are parallel to the coordinate axes shown, with AB = 21.7 cm, BC = 30.1 cm, and FA = 12.0 cm. In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic dipole moment of this loop? (Hint: Imagine equal and opposite currents i in the line segment AD; then treat the two rectangular loops ABCDA and ADEFA.) Number ( i^+ j^+ k) Units

The figure shows a current loop A B C D E F A carrying a current i = 3.95 A . The sides of the loop are parallel to the coordinate axes shown, with A B = 21.7 cm , B C = 30.1 cm , and F A = 12.0 cm . In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic dipole moment of this loop? (Hint: Imagine equal and opposite currents i in the line segment A D ; then treat the two rectangular loops A B C D A and A D E F A .)
