Question

The derived unit Tesla is related to which of the following base units?
Options
A A (Ampere)
B kg (kilogram)
C s (second)
D all of above
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density. It is defined as Newton per Ampere-meter (N/(A·m)). Since Newton (N) is kg·m/s², we can express Tesla in terms of fundamental SI units as kg/(A·s²). Therefore, Tesla is related to kilogram, Ampere, and second.

Hint

Consider the definition of magnetic force (F = BIL) and Newton's second law (F=ma) to break down the units.
