What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms values from ampere per centimeter (A/cm), which measures linear current density along conductors, into gilbert per centimeter (Gi/cm), a unit expressing magnetomotive force per unit length in the cgs system. It's useful for electrical, magnetic, and coil design applications requiring unit translation between SI and cgs systems.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the numeric value of linear current density in ampere per centimeter (A/cm)
- Choose 'A/cm' as the input unit and 'Gi/cm' as the output unit
- Click convert to see the equivalent magnetomotive force density in gilbert per centimeter
- Use the result to assist with magnetic circuit design or analysis
Key Features
- Converts linear current density from A/cm to Gi/cm accurately using a fixed conversion rate
- Supports understanding of current distribution and magnetomotive force in various engineering contexts
- Provides quick unit conversion for coil winding and magnetic circuit analysis
- Browser-based and easy to use without complex formulas required
Examples
- 2 A/cm converts to approximately 2.51 Gi/cm
- 0.5 A/cm converts to approximately 0.63 Gi/cm
Common Use Cases
- Specifying current per unit width on PCB traces or metal strips for electrical and thermal design purposes
- Describing magnetomotive force density in magnetic circuits or coil windings using cgs units
- Converting historical magnetics data from cgs to SI unit systems for modern engineering analysis
- Characterizing linear current distributions in welding, electrochemical processes, or high-current contacts
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure unit consistency when mixing SI and cgs unit systems during calculations
- Use this conversion tool to bridge data between modern SI and older cgs-based magnetics literature

- Refer to this tool when dealing with linear current density along conductors in electrical or magnetic designs
Limitations
- Gilbert per centimeter is a non-SI unit mainly relevant within cgs and EMU measurement systems
- Conversions may be uncommon or less applicable in strictly SI unit workflows
- Exercise care in maintaining dimensional correctness when combining SI and cgs units
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does ampere per centimeter measure?
- Ampere per centimeter measures the linear current density, representing electric current flowing per unit length along a conductor.
- Why convert A/cm to Gi/cm?
- Conversion to gilbert per centimeter helps translate linear current density in SI units into magnetomotive force per unit length in cgs units for magnetic circuit and coil design.
- Is gilbert per centimeter a standard SI unit?
- No, gilbert per centimeter is a cgs-derived unit mainly used in older magnetics literature and cgs/EMU systems rather than the SI system.
