Do permeability and relative permeability have the same dimensions?
Magnetic permeability is given by the formula
Where
B=magnetic field
H=magnetization intensity
SI Unit of magnetic field B is N/Am
Its dimensional formula is
SI unit of magnetization intensity is A/m
Its dimensional formula is
Therefore, dimensional formula of permeability μ =
Whereas relative permeability is given as the ratio of magnetic permeabilty of any medium to the permeability of the vacuum
Where μ0=absolute permeability of vacuum
So relative permeability is a dimensionless quantity
Therefore, relative permeability is dimensionless quantity a permeability have different dimensions
