Solution

Physics sir · 3 steps

Give each quantity its unit, and watch the power of the metre: A/m is intensity, A m² is moment.

  1. Recall the definitions. Magnetic induction B comes from force on a moving charge, magnetic intensity H from current per unit length, flux is Φ = BA, and a current loop has moment m = IA.
    QuantityDefining relationUnitMatch
    (A) Magnetic induction BF = qvBtesla in SI, gauss in CGS (1 G = 10⁻⁴ T)(III)
    (B) Magnetic intensity HH = nI (turns per metre times current)A m⁻¹, the ampere meter in the list(IV)
    (C) Magnetic flux ΦΦ = BAweber (1 Wb = 1 T m²)(II)
    (D) Magnetic moment mm = IAA m²(I)
  2. Keep the metre straight. Current per unit length gives A m⁻¹, so that is H. Current times area gives A m², so that is the moment m.
  3. So. The matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I), which is option (a).

The idea to keep. Build each magnetic unit from its definition: B in tesla or gauss, H = nI in A/m, Φ = BA in weber, m = IA in A m². Do not memorise the units as a loose list.
