For a planar loop carrying current the magnetic dipole moment is current times the area enclosed by the loop. The circuit given is as shown in the figure. The area enclosed by the loop is

Let be the unit vector coming out of the plane of the page. The magnetic dipole moment of the closed circuit shown in the figure will be
