Solution

Physics sir · 4 steps

Pin down B from F = qvB first; flux and permeability follow, and magnetization is A/m.

  1. Magnetic induction. From F = qvB, B = F/qv. With q = AT and v = LT⁻¹, this gives [B] = MLT⁻²/(AT × LT⁻¹) = MT⁻²A⁻¹, which is (iii).
  2. Flux and permeability. Flux is B times area, so [φ] = MT⁻²A⁻¹ × L² = ML²T⁻²A⁻¹, which is (i). From B = (μ₀ I)/(2π r), μ₀ = (2π Br)/I, so [μ₀] = MLT⁻²A⁻², which is (iv).
  3. Magnetization. Magnetization is magnetic moment per unit volume. Magnetic moment is current times area, AL², so magnetization has dimensions AL²/L³ = M⁰L⁻¹A, which is (ii).

  4. So. The matching is (a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii), which is option (d).

The idea to keep. Fix [B] = MT⁻²A⁻¹ from F = qvB once. Flux and μ₀ follow by multiplying or dividing by L or A. Magnetization and H share units of A/m, not tesla.
