The oersted (/ ˈ ɜːr s t ɛ d /,; [1] symbol Oe) is the coherent derived unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). [2] It is equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell .
The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density B in the system of Gaussian units and is equal to Mx/cm 2 or g/Bi/s 2, while the oersted is the unit of H-field. One tesla (T) corresponds to 10 4 gauss, and one ampere (A) per metre corresponds to 4π × 10 −3 oersted .
There are 7 base units and 22 derived units [1] (excluding compound units). These units are used both in science and in commerce. Two of the base SI units and 17 of the derived units are named after scientists. [2] 28 non-SI units are named after scientists. By this convention, their names are immortalised.
Mass of a substance as a fraction of the total mass kg/kg 1: intensive (Mass) Density (or volume density) ρ: Mass per unit volume kg/m 3: L −3 M: intensive Mean lifetime: τ: Average time for a particle of a substance to decay s T: intensive Molar concentration: C: Amount of substance per unit volume mol⋅m −3: L −3 N: intensive Molar ...
The maximum energy product is defined based on the magnetic hysteresis saturation loop (B-H curve), in the demagnetizing portion where the B and H fields are in opposition. It is defined as the maximal value of the product of B and H along this curve (actually, the maximum of the negative of the product, − BH , since they have opposing signs):
The shed is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −24 barns (100 rm 2 = 10 −52 m 2). The outhouse is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to 10 −6 barns (100 am 2 = 10 −34 m 2). The barn (b) is a unit of area used in nuclear physics equal to one hundred femtometres squared (100 fm 2 = 10 −28 m 2).
Hans Christian Ørsted (/ ˈ ɜːr s t ɛ d /; [5] Danish: [ˈhænˀs ˈkʰʁestjæn ˈɶɐ̯steð] ⓘ; anglicized as Oersted; [note 1] 14 August 1777 – 9 March 1851) was a Danish physicist and chemist who discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields. This phenomenon is known as Oersted's law. He also discovered aluminium, a ...
Coercivity is usually measured in oersted or ampere/meter units and is denoted H C. An analogous property in electrical engineering and materials science , electric coercivity , is the ability of a ferroelectric material to withstand an external electric field without becoming depolarized .
