I'm working with hysteresis losses in transformers at the moment, and I was wanting to know if there are units for the coefficient.

Normally, I'd just rearrange the equation for units, below,

h=ηB1.6f
η=hf-1B-1.6
so it would have units
JsT-1.6

However, given the power of 1.6, I'm not sure it still works like this. Does anyone know the units for it?

Hysteresis loss [for instance] formula :

Ph=lh*B^n*f Watt/m^3 where:

B in Tesla=Wb/m^2

n=1.6 to 1.8

lh is a property of material about 500 for 4% silicon steel or 3000 for cast iron.

f=50 or 60 Hz
