As we learnt in 

Magnetic moment (M) -

M=NiA

- wherein

N-number of turns in the coil 

i-current throughout the coil 

A-area of the coil 

 

 and 

 

 

Current loop as a magnetic dipole -

A current carrying circular coil behaves as a bar magnet whose magnetic monent is M

- wherein

 

 Magnetic moment of current carrying rectangular loop of Area A is given by M= NiA

 

Magnetic moment of current carrying coil is a vector and its direction is given by right hand thumb rule,

For rectangular loop,

\vec{B} at centre due to current in loop and  \vec{N} are always parallel
