FIG. M-1. Magnetic quantities and units. See also Appendix A, SI units.

Magnetic moment per unit volume (occasionally per unit mass), a vector quantity. Also called magnetic polarization or intensity of magnetization. Designated by symbols M or I. A measure of the effect of the medium on the magnetic field B when subject to a magnetizing force H:

$\mathbf {B} =\mu _{0}\left(\mathbf {H} +\mathbf {M} \right)\qquad in\;the\;SI\;System,$

$\mathbf {B} =\mathbf {H} +4\pi \mathbf {I} \qquad in\;the\;cgs\;System,$

where μ_o is the permeability of free space. The proportionality between magnetization and H is the magnetic susceptibility (q.v.), k or k′. See Figure M-1.
