A current loop acts like a tiny bar magnet with a magnetic dipole moment.

The math behind it

m = N·I·A, the product of turns, current and loop area.

Worked Example

100 turns, 2 A, 0.01 m² → 2 A·m².

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it matter?

It sets the torque a loop feels in an external magnetic field (τ = m × B).
