Quick Summary

The nuclear magneton is a unit of magnetic moment used in the study of subatomic particles. It is calculated using the mass of the proton, unlike the Bohr magneton, which uses the mass of the electron. The nuclear magneton is equal to 1/1,836 of a Bohr magneton. Magnetic moment itself is the product of a magnet's pole strength and the distance between its poles.1
