In the expression

if we have x >> a2 than the field due to a circular coil, at a far off point on its axis, becomes equal to

We will discuss later that a current carrying circular loop is equivalent to a magnetic dipole with dipole magnetic moment |m| equal to (iA) where A is the area a of the loop and i the current flowing in the loop. 

Hence we can will be

which can be shown to be the field due to a (small) magnetic dipole at a far off point. 

Hence a current carrying circular loop behaves like a magnetic dipole with magnetic moment.

|m| = iA
