  2. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    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. The units for magnetic flux Φ, which is the integral of magnetic B ...

  3. Tesla (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_(unit)

    The tesla (symbol: T) is the unit of magnetic flux density (also called magnetic B-field strength) in the International System of Units (SI). One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre. The unit was announced during the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960 and is named [1] in honour of Serbian-American electrical and ...

  4. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The shape of the magnetic fields of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet are revealed by the orientation of iron filings sprinkled on pieces of paper. A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field[1]) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [2]: ch1 [3] and magnetic materials.

  5. Oersted - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted

    Definition. Cassette tape label with coercivity (a measure of the external magnetic flux required to magnetize the tape) measured in oersteds. The oersted is defined as a dyne per unit pole. [clarification needed][6] The oersted is ⁠ 1000 4π ⁠ (≈79.5775) amperes per meter, in terms of SI units. [7][8][9][10] The H-field strength inside a ...

  6. Gaussian units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_units

    Gaussian units constitute a metric system of physical units. This system is the most common of the several electromagnetic unit systems based on cgs (centimetre–gram–second) units. It is also called the Gaussian unit system, Gaussian-cgs units, or often just cgs units. [a] The term "cgs units" is ambiguous and therefore to be avoided if ...

  8. Weber (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber_(unit)

    1 × 108 Mx. In physics, the weber (/ ˈveɪb -, ˈwɛb.ər / VAY-, WEH-bər; [1][2] symbol: Wb) is the unit of magnetic flux in the International System of Units (SI). The unit is derived (through Faraday's law of induction) from the relationship 1 Wb = 1 V⋅s (volt-second). A magnetic flux density of 1 Wb/m 2 (one weber per square metre) is ...

  9. Maxwell (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_(unit)

    The maxwell is a non-SI unit. [8] 1 maxwell = 1 gauss × 2. That is, one maxwell is the total flux across a surface of one square centimetre perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength one gauss. The weber is the related SI unit of magnetic flux, which was defined in 1946. [9] 1 maxwell ≘ 10 −4 tesla × (10 −2 metre) 2 = 10 −8 weber
