What is the SI unit of magnetic dipole moment?

A. Ampere-meter squared (A.m^2)✓ Correct Answer
B. Weber per meter (Wb/m)
C. Tesla per square meter (T/m^2)
D. Volt-second per meter (V.s/m)

💡 Solution & Explanation

The SI unit of magnetic dipole moment is Ampere-meter squared, which is derived from its formula as the product of electric current and the area of the current loop. Incorrect choices like Weber per meter represent magnetic field gradients rather than dipole moments. The magnetic dipole moment can also be expressed in Joule per Tesla.
