Value of permeability of free space in SI units is___________________?

Correct answer: B. 4πx10-7 WbA-1m-1

  • A. 4πx10-9 WbA-1m-1
  • B. 4πx10-7 WbA-1m-1
  • C. 4πx10-10 WbA-1m-1
  • D. 4πx10-8 WbA-1m-1

Explanation

The permeability of free space is μ0 = 4π x 10^-7 Wb A^-1 m^-1, equivalently N A^-2. The powers of ten in the other choices are incorrect. The likely wrong choice is d, which differs by a factor of 10 from the correct value.

About Magnetic Flux Density

Magnetic flux density measures the magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor or moving charge in a magnetic field. Work includes the relations B equals F divided by IL and F equals qvB, the tesla as its SI unit, field direction and the distinction between flux density and magnetic flux.
