Vacuum Permeability: SI Base Units, Amps-2 Power

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the correct expression of vacuum permeability units in SI base units. Participants question whether the units provided, such as H•m−1 and A2·s4·kg−1·m−3, are accurate and if they should be expressed as (Amps)-2 power for clarity. There is a focus on ensuring that various unit expressions reduce correctly to basic SI units, specifically kg·m·s−2·A−2. The importance of referencing reliable sources, like Wikipedia, for unit verification is emphasized. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify the proper representation of vacuum permeability in scientific terms.

I got the following for the units of Vacuum permeability:

H•m−1 A2•s-2•kg•m T•m•A-1 N•A−2 V•s•A-1•m-1
Wb•A-1•m-1

Does anyone see anything wrong with these units?

Are the SI base units correct?
A2·s4·kg−1·m−3 in SI base units

Should it be (Amps)-2 power?

It is hard to read those units (HTML removes multiple whitespace unless you use
Code:
 tags or something similar). Anyway, see [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permeability]Wikipedia: Vacuum permeability[/url] for some ways to express those units.
 
H•m−1
A2•s-2•kg•m
T•m•A-1
N•A2
V•s•A-1•m-1
Wb•A-1•m-1

I got these from Wiki but want to know if they are correct

In basic SI units it is
kg \ m \ s^{-2} \ A^{-2}

For the rest, you can easily check the units to see if they reduce to the same expression in basic units. But you don't have to. Just try to find the equation that provides the unit.
For example, if you look at the magnetic induction of the current loop and express the permeability as a function of the other quantities, you find T m /A.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
