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 .
atomic mass number: unitless acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2) magnetic flux density also called the magnetic field density or magnetic induction tesla (T), or equivalently, weber per square meter (Wb/m 2) capacitance: farad (F) heat capacity: joule per kelvin (J⋅K −1)
Ratio of flow velocity to the local speed of sound unitless: 1: Magnetic flux: Φ: Measure of magnetism, taking account of the strength and the extent of a magnetic field: weber (Wb) L 2 M T −2 I −1: scalar Mass fraction: x: Mass of a substance as a fraction of the total mass kg/kg 1: intensive (Mass) Density (or volume density) ρ: Mass ...
In electromagnetism, Ørsted's law, also spelled Oersted's law, is the physical law stating that an electric current induces a magnetic field. [ 2 ] This was discovered on 21 April 1820 by Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777–1851), [ 3 ] [ 4 ] when he noticed that the needle of a compass next to a wire carrying current turned so ...
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.
In physics, natural unit systems are measurement systems for which selected physical constants have been set to 1 through nondimensionalization of physical units.For example, the speed of light c may be set to 1, and it may then be omitted, equating mass and energy directly E = m rather than using c as a conversion factor in the typical mass–energy equivalence equation E = mc 2.
the electronvolt (eV), a unit of energy, used to express mass in units of eV/c 2 through mass–energy equivalence; the dalton (Da), equal to 1/12 of the mass of a free carbon-12 atom, approximately 1.66 × 10 −27 kg. [note 2] Outside the SI system, other units of mass include: the slug (sl), an Imperial unit of mass (about 14.6 kg)
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 ...
