Circular current loop as magnetic dipole behaves sort of like a magnet. Its magnetic flux lines also as north and south poles, a bit like a magnet. To place all this during a simpler perspective, imagine a clock. Now the clock completes one round from 12 - 12. That direction is what we call clockwise. So if the current is clockwise then the direction of magnetic flux lines is going to be inward direction.

Similarly, direction opposite to movement of clock is named anti-clockwise direction. So if current is occupation anti-clockwise direction the direction of magnetic flux lines are going to be in outward direction i.e. If current is in an anti-clockwise direction then the direction of magnetic flux lines is going to be in an outward direction. If current is in clockwise direction the direction of magnetic flux lines is going to be inward direction. And this is the answer to the question that explains the behavior of a current loop as a magnetic dipole..
