Which of the following is equivalent to tesla?

  1. AAmpere per Newton
  2. BNewton per Coulomb
  3. CNewton per ampere-second
  4. DNewton per ampere meter

70th BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) Newton per ampere meter

Explanation

The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength).

From the magnetic force formula F = BIL, we get B = F/(IL), so 1 T = Newton per ampere metre (N/A·m).

This makes it equivalent to newton per ampere per metre, not the other listed combinations.
