The unit of magnetisation is _____________. 

The correct answer is ampere/metre.

Key Points

• The unit of magnetisation in the International System of Units (SI) is ampere per metre (A/m).
• Magnetisation describes the magnetic moment per unit volume of a material.
• It is represented by the symbol 'M'.
• Magnetisation is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction.

Additional Information

• Magnetic Moment
  • The magnetic moment is a measure of the strength and direction of a magnetic source.
  • It is typically measured in units of A·m² (ampere square meters).
• Magnetic Field
  • A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials.
  • It is measured in teslas (T) in the SI system.
• Magnetic Susceptibility
  • It is a measure of how much a material will become magnetised in an applied magnetic field.
  • It is a dimensionless quantity.
• Magnetic Flux
  • Magnetic flux is the measure of the quantity of magnetism, considering the strength and extent of a magnetic field.
  • It is measured in webers (Wb).
