The Bohr magneton is a unit of magnetic moment, equal to the charge of an electron multiplied by its reduced Planck's constant and divided by twice its mass.
To calculate the Bohr magneton, use the formula μB = eħ/2me, where e is the charge of an electron, ħ is the reduced Planck's constant, and me is the mass of an electron.
The units of the Bohr magneton are joules per tesla (J/T) or ampere-square meters (A·m²).
To convert from joules per tesla to ampere-square meters, multiply by 1.2566370614 x 10^-6.
The Bohr magneton is an important quantity in quantum mechanics and is used to describe the magnetic properties of atoms and molecules. It is also used in various fields of physics, such as solid state physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics.
