	abstract = {<div>The effects of a long-range interaction in a one-dimensional (1D) magnetic ring is studied. In this work, the Monte Carlo method is employed to obtain the equilibrium state of a modified quasi-1D Ising model having a dipolar interaction in a ring geometry. At low temperatures (<em>T</em>), the behavior of the magnetization (<em>M</em>) as a function of <em>T</em> is shown to depend on the strength of the dipolar interaction <em>(G)</em>. For a ring consisting of 10 spins, ferromagnetic states occur in the ground state (<em>T</em>=0) for a small value of <em>G</em>. Antiferromagnetic states are favored when <em>G</em> is large even at a finite temperature. The magnetization saturates at high <em>T</em>. Also, an effective lowering of the total energy is achieved when smaller values of <em>G</em> approach zero and when large value of <em>G</em> is increased further. Similar effects are observed for rings having a larger number of spins.</div>},
