Question

The Oersted unit is used to measure which of the following?

A.

Electric field strength

B.

Electric potential

C.

Magnetic field strength

D.

Current intensity

Correct option is C

The Correct Answer is: (c) Magnetic field strength
Explanation:
The Oersted (Oe) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the magnetic field strength or magnetic field intensity in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system.
It is named after Hans Christian Orsted, the Danish physicist who first discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism.
Information Booster:
  • Magnetic field strength (H) describes the intensity of a magnetic field at a point in space.
  • 1 Oe produces a field strength that exerts a specific force on a magnetic dipole.

  • SI unit of magnetic field strength is A/m (Ampere per meter).

Additional Information:
  •  Electric field strength – Measured in volts per meter (V/m).

  •  Electric potential – Measured in volts (V).

  •  Current intensity – Measured in amperes (A).
