Current Loop as a Magnetic Dipole

A current loop act as a magnetic dipole as it has both south and north pole.

Current loop act as Magnetic dipole 

When we see a current carrying loop from top, current direction is anticlockwise and has north polarity. If, lower face of loop is seen from bottom then current direction is clockwise and have south polarity. Overall it behaves as a magnetic dipole depends upon
