Information About

Bohr Magneton




It is a Physical Constant of Magnetic Moment , defined in S.I. units
by:

:\mu_B =
and in Gaussian Centimeter-gram-second units by:
:\mu_B =
where:
:e is the Elementary Charge ,
:\hbar is the Reduced Planck's Constant ,
:m_e is the Electron Rest Mass
:c is the Speed Of Light .

In the SI System Of Units its value is:
:\mu_B = 9.274 009 49(80) × 10-24 J · T -1

and in the centimeter-gram-second system of units:
:\mu_B = 9.274 009 49(80) × 10-21 Erg · G -1

The Bohr magneton is the natural unit for expressing the Electron Magnetic Dipole Moment .
