Any kind of loops (including central loops as a special case) are possible in empymod, but not trivial, and I get a lot of questions. Hence, it should be better documented.
Note: The loop function only converts a magnetic dipole measuring the magnetic field H [A/m] (theoretical, there are no magnetic dipole equipments) to a magnetic coil measuring the magnetic flux B [T]. As of empymod v2.6, loop will be deprecated in favour of bipole with msrc='b'; mrec='b'.
There are examples of it:
For a central loop one needs to use bipole or dipole, loop does not work as source and receiver would be at the same location.

area/(radius/2)tocircumference; it is confusing as it is now. Clarify Ward and Hohmann circular loop #233empymod.model, as it is often requested.
