The formula for magnetic pressure is

P[itex]_{B}[/itex] = [itex]\frac{B^{2}}{2\mu_{0}}[/itex]

Now, the units on the left hand side are clearly Pascals, but the units on the RHS are T^2 H^-1 m.

I've been trying and I can't see how to make the units on the RHS equal the units on the LHS. does anyone have any insight?
