Magnetism units
Units that support prefixes are shown in bold.
Note: Because Mastering doesn’t currently accept T*m^2 as an equivalent of V*s, it’s best NOT to require students to enter a unit in webers using the solutionNumberUnits answer type. Instead, use an alternate answer type, such as a multiple choice (solutionMultipleChoiceRadio/Dropdown or solutionMultipleSelect) or a numeric/symbolic expression (solutionSymbolic or solutionSymbolicSet).
Unit Name, System | Units Students Enter | Infix You Code | Notes |
henry SI |
H Wb*A^(-1) m^(2)*kg*s^(-2)*A^(-2) |
H Wb*A^(-1) m^(2)*kg*s^(-2)*A^(-2) |
Code inductance as H unless you specifically need Wb/A. Avoid using base units. |
magnetic dipole SI |
A*m^2 | A*m^2 | |
tesla SI |
T Wb*m^(-2) kg*s^(-2)*A^(-1) |
T Wb*m^(-2) kg*s^(-2)*A^(-1) |
Code magnetic flux density as T unless you specifically need Wb/m^2. Avoid using base units. |
weber SI |
Wb V*s m^(2)*kg*s^(-2) *A^(-1) |
Wb V*s m^(2)*kg*s^(-2) *A^(-1) |
Code magnetic flux as Wb unless you specifically need V*s. Avoid using base units.
Mastering doesn’t currently accept T*m^2 as an equivalent of V*s. See the note above this table for more details. |
