Magnetic Moment Units
Magnetic moment is a measure of the torque exerted on a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field. It characterizes the strength and orientation of a magnetic source. Common units include Joule per Tesla (SI) and erg per Gauss (CGS).
- Joule per Tesla (J/T): The SI unit of magnetic moment, representing energy per unit magnetic flux density.
- erg per Gauss (erg/G): The CGS unit of magnetic moment, equivalent to 10⁻⁷ J/T.
Units of Magnetic Moment
Magnetic moment is a fundamental quantity that describes the torque exerted on a magnetic dipole when placed in a magnetic field. It is essential in understanding atomic and molecular magnetism, as well as the behavior of permanent magnets and magnetic materials.

Joule per Tesla (J/T)
The joule per tesla is the SI unit of magnetic moment. It represents the energy per unit magnetic flux density and quantifies the torque experienced by a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field. This unit is commonly used in quantum mechanics and atomic physics when discussing electronic and nuclear magnetic moments.

erg per Gauss (erg/G)
The erg per gauss is the CGS unit of magnetic moment. One erg per gauss equals exactly 10⁻⁷ joule per tesla. This unit is still commonly used in materials science and chemistry when discussing molecular and atomic magnetic properties. The conversion factor reflects the relationship between CGS and SI magnetic units.
