About

Magnetism Units

Magnetism includes measurements of flux, flux density, field strength, and magnetic moment. Different unit systems like SI and CGS are used.

  • Weber (Wb) and Maxwell (Mx) - units of magnetic flux.
  • Tesla (T) and Gauss (G) - units of magnetic flux density.
  • Ampere per meter (A/m) and Oersted (Oe) - units of magnetic field strength.
  • Joule per Tesla (J/T) and erg per Gauss (erg/G) - units of magnetic moment.

Units of Magnetism

Magnetism describes a variety of physical quantities that define magnetic fields, magnetic flux, magnetic induction, and magnetic moments. Various units have been invented over the years to quantify these characteristics both within the International System of Units (SI) as well as in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system.

  • Weber (Wb)

    The SI unit of magnetic flux is weber. A weber is the amount of magnetic flux that links a single turn circuit inducing an electromotive force of one volt when reduced to zero at a uniform rate in one second.

  • Maxwell (Mx)

    Maxwell (maxwell or max) The CGS unit of magnetic flux is the maxwell. One maxwell equals 10⁻⁸ webers. Although largely replaced by the weber in modern practice, the maxwell remains important in some contexts.

  • Tesla (T)

    The SI unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic induction is the tesla. It is used to measure the strength of a magnetic field, that is one weber per square meter.

  • Gauss (G)

    The gauss is the unit of magnetic flux density in the CGS system. One gauss equals 10⁻⁴ tesla. It is still commonly used in magnetism and materials science.

  • Ampere per meter (A/m)

    The ampere per meter is the SI unit of magnetic field strength or magnetising force, the measure of the strength of the magnetic field produced by an electric current.

  • Oersted (Oe)

    The oersted is the unit of CGS magnetic field strength. It measures the magnetic field in terms of its force on currents and magnetic materials. One oersted is equal to about 79.58 A/m.

  • Joule per Tesla (J/T)

    The joule per tesla is a derived SI unit to express magnetic moment as torque exerted on a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field.

  • erg per Gauss (erg/G)

    The CGS unit of magnetic moment is the unit of erg per gauss, which equals joule per tesla in SI.
