Correct option is B
Ans.(b) Ampere meter
Explanation:
The correct answer is Ampere meter (A·m). The strength of a magnetic pole is quantified by its magnetic moment (m), which is given by:
m=I×Am = I \times Am=I×A
where:
- III = current (Ampere)
- AAA = area of the loop (meter²)
The unit of the magnetic dipole moment is Ampere-meter (A·m), which represents the strength of a magnetic pole in relation to the current flowing and the area it encloses.
Information Booster:
● The magnetic dipole moment represents the torque a magnet experiences in an external magnetic field.
● Ampere-meter (A·m) is used to measure the strength of a magnetic dipole.
● The unit is important in electromagnetism and magnetic materials.
● The magnetic field strength of a material depends on its pole strength and the distance between poles.
● Magnetic dipole moment plays a significant role in the alignment of compass needles and earth’s magnetic field interactions.
● Used in determining the strength of bar magnets, solenoids, and electromagnets.
● The unit is applicable in physics, engineering, and geophysics for studying magnetic properties.
Additional Information:
- (a) Newton per meter: Incorrect, as it represents force per unit length
- (c) Ampere per meter: Incorrect, as it represents magnetic field intensity (H)
- (d) Tesla: Incorrect, as Tesla (T) is the unit of magnetic flux density (BBB)
