Compared to how an electric dipole will rotate to point in the (opposite or same) direction of an external electricfield, a closed current carrying loop will rotate to orient itself such that magnetic moment will (be aligned or antialigned) itself with an external magnetic field.

Expert Solution

Step 1 Electric dipole and magnetic moment
Electric dipole moment separates the positive charge to the negative one in a system. It gives us the total polarity of system. It is measured in units of coulomb-meter.
Magnetic moment is the strength of magnet and its inclination which produces magnetic field. It is the torque produced by object in the magnetic field. It is a vector quantity.
