The unit of magnetic intensity in the CGS (centimetre-gram-second) system is ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option4 i.e. oersted

  • In the CGS (Centimetre-Gram-Second) system, the unit of magnetic intensity is the "Oersted," which is represented by the symbol "Oe."
  • The Oersted is used to measure magnetic field intensity or magnetizing field strength.
  • It is named after the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetism in the early 19th century.
  • In the International System of Units (SI), the corresponding unit for magnetic intensity is the Ampere per meter (A/m).
