class plasmapy.formulary.MagneticDipole(moment: Unit("A m2"), p0: Unit("m"))

Bases: plasmapy.formulary.magnetostatics.MagnetoStatics

Simple magnetic dipole - two nearby opposite point charges.

Parameters:

• moment (astropy.units.Quantity) – Magnetic moment vector, in units of A * m^2
• p0 (astropy.units.Quantity) – Position of the dipole

Methods Summary
