For the two loops in Figs. 30.13 and 30.14, what is the direction of the magnetic moment vector?
The magnetic moment vector is always perpendicular to the plane of the loop, in the direction given by the right-hand rule: with the fingers wrapped around in the direction of the current, the thumb points upward in Fig. 30.13, and at an angle θ to the right of upward in Fig. 30.14.
