Official Correct Choice:
Option B: \( \text{Wb m}^{-2} \)
Concept:

Magnetic flux density is a measure of the concentration of magnetic field lines within a given area. It is synonymous with the magnetic field vector \( \mathbf{B} \).

Formula:

$$ B = \frac{\Phi}{A} $$

Solution:

  • Look at the formula: \( B \) is equal to magnetic flux (\( \Phi \)) divided by Area (\( A \)).


  • The SI unit for magnetic flux is the Weber (Wb).


  • The SI unit for area is square meters (\( \text{m}^2 \)).


  • Dividing them gives \( \frac{\text{Wb}}{\text{m}^2} \), which is expressed mathematically with a negative exponent as \( \text{Wb m}^{-2} \) (equivalent to 1 Tesla).


Why other options are incorrect:

Option C is the unit for total flux, not density. Options A and D represent incorrect dimensional scaling by length rather than area.
