The unit of measurement for magnetic dipole moment of a body is

  • A.\(\text{A m}^{2}\)
  • B.\(\text{A m}^{-1}\)
  • C.\(\text{Wb m}^{-2}\)
  • D.\(\text{Wb m}^{2}\)

Answer: A

The unit is A m2.

A magnetic dipole moment is the current in a loop times the loop's area, \(m = IA\), so its SI unit is ampere times square metre. Equivalently, it is torque per unit flux density, N m / T, which reduces to A m2.

A m−1 is the unit of magnetic field strength H and of magnetisation (dipole moment per unit volume). Wb m−2 (tesla) is the unit of flux density B. Wb m2 is not a standard magnetic quantity.
