What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert values from ampere per inch, a unit describing electric current distributed along a length, into gilbert per centimeter, a cgs-derived unit expressing magnetomotive force per unit length.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in ampere/inch [A/in] that you want to convert
  • Select the from-unit as ampere/inch and to-unit as gilbert/centimeter
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in gilbert/centimeter [Gi/cm]
  • Use the conversion formula if manual calculation is preferred
  • Apply results in electromagnetic simulations or magnetic circuit analysis

Key Features

  • Converts linear current density from ampere/inch to gilbert/centimeter accurately
  • Supports unit translation between imperial-based and cgs-based electromagnetic units
  • Useful for electromagnetic and magnetic circuit design applications
  • Easy to use with clear formula and conversion rate displayed
  • Browser-based and accessible without installing software

Examples

  • 2 A/in converts to about 0.989478 Gi/cm
  • 5 A/in converts to about 2.473695 Gi/cm
  • Use the formula: value in A/in × 0.4947390008 = value in Gi/cm

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying current distributed along conductors in electromagnetic studies
  • Translating SI linear current density units to cgs magnetomotive force densities
  • Characterizing coil winding distributions in magnetic circuit design
  • Analyzing antenna element current distribution in electromagnetic engineering
  • Converting historical magnetics data from cgs to SI contexts

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check unit selections to ensure correct conversion direction
  • Understand that ampere/inch measures current density while gilbert/centimeter represents magnetomotive force density
  • Use the tool for theoretical and analytical contexts where linear relationships apply
  • Refer to the exact conversion rate 0.4947390008 for accuracy
  • Avoid mixing these units with unrelated measurement systems in practical datasets

Limitations

  • Units represent different physical quantities: electric current density versus magnetomotive force density
  • Conversion assumes linear proportionality valid mainly in electromagnetic theory
  • May not be suitable for direct use in all practical measurement scenarios
  • Care needed when integrating converted values with mixed or experimental data

Frequently Asked Questions
