In magnetism ,
mH = F, where m = pole strength ; H= magnetic field intensity ; and
F = Force.


F = [ MLT[tex]^{}-2[/tex]]

Proof that dimension of mH = [MLT[tex]^{}-2[/tex]]

Can you figure out the dimensions from the units of m and H? What are you not understanding? You didn't really ask a question.
 
If you wish to proove from F=mH that mH has dimensions of MTL-2, just consider that mH is equal to a force, which is equal to mass times acceleration: M*LT-2.

This is not as much an exercise in magnetism as in rather basic dimensional analysis.
