Magnetization refers to the measure of the magnetic moment per unit volume of a material. It indicates how much a material can be magnetized in response to an external magnetic field.

SI Unit of Magnetization

The SI unit for magnetization is ampere per meter (A/m).

Dimensions of Magnetization

The dimensions of magnetization can be expressed as:

  • [M] = Mass
  • [L] = Length
  • [T] = Time

In dimensional form, magnetization is represented as [M][L]^-1[T]^-2.
