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.

The oersted (Oe) is a unit of magnetic field strength equal to 1 dyn 1/2 ⋅cm −1, corresponding to ~ 79.577 47 A/m. The maxwell (Mx) is a unit of magnetic flux, corresponding to 10 nWb. [4] The gauss (G) is a unit of magnetic flux density, corresponding to 100 μT. [4]
One difference between the Gaussian and SI systems is in the factor 4π in various formulas that relate the quantities that they define. With SI electromagnetic units, called rationalized, [3] [4] Maxwell's equations have no explicit factors of 4π in the formulae, whereas the inverse-square force laws – Coulomb's law and the Biot–Savart law – do have a factor of 4π attached to the r 2.
It is often denoted (BH) max and is typically given in units of either kJ/m 3 (kilojoules per cubic meter, in SI electromagnetism) or MGOe (mega-gauss-oersted, in gaussian electromagnetism). [1] [2] 1 MGOe is equivalent to 7.958 kJ/m 3. [3]
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.
Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).
