Electric Point Dipole
Add Electric Point Dipole nodes to 3D and 2D components. This represents the limiting case of when the length d of a current filament carrying uniform current I approaches zero while maintaining the product between I and d. The dipole moment is a vector entity with the positive direction set by the current flow.
Dipole Specification
Select a Dipole specification—Magnitude and direction (the default) or Dipole moment.
Dipole Parameters
Under Dipole specification:
•
For Magnitude and direction enter coordinates for the Electric current dipole moment direction np (the defaults are 0) and Electric current dipole moment, magnitude p (SI unit: A⋅m) (the default is 0 A⋅m).
•
For Dipole moment enter coordinates for the Electric current dipole moment p (SI unit: A⋅m). The defaults are 0 A⋅m.
