The SI unit of magnetic moment is:

Answer: Ampere metre squared (A·m²).

  • A Tesla, the unit of magnetic flux density
  • B Weber, the unit of total magnetic flux
  • C Ampere metre squared (A·m²)
  • D Henry, the unit of inductance

Correct answer: C. Ampere metre squared (A·m²)

Explanation: Magnetic moment m = NIA has SI unit ampere metre squared (A·m²). Tesla is the unit of B, weber is the unit of magnetic flux, and henry is the unit of inductance.

Bar Magnet Field LinesNSfield lines: N → S (outside magnet)

Magnetic field lines form closed loops: outside the bar magnet they run from the N pole to the S pole; inside, they continue from S back to N, so the lines never start or end anywhere.

Concept context

Bar magnets, Earth's magnetism, and how different materials respond to an external magnetic field - diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic behaviour.
