What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate measurements from gilbert per centimeter, a unit describing distributed magnetomotive force per length in cgs magnetics, into abampere per centimeter, a unit expressing linear electric current density in the cgs-EMU system.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gilberts per centimeter (Gi/cm) you wish to convert.
  • Select gilbert/centimeter as the input unit and abampere/centimeter as the output unit.
  • The tool applies the conversion factor 0.0795774715 to provide the equivalent value in abA/cm.
  • Review the result displayed to understand the corresponding linear current density.

Key Features

  • Converts linear magnetomotive force density (Gi/cm) to linear current density (abA/cm).
  • Based on the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic unit system (cgs-EMU).
  • Provides user-friendly conversion following the exact relation: 1 Gi/cm = 0.0795774715 abA/cm.
  • Includes practical examples showing calculation steps.
  • Suitable for engineering and magnetics research involving legacy cgs units.

Examples

  • Convert 10 Gi/cm: 10 × 0.0795774715 = 0.795774715 abA/cm
  • Convert 1 Gi/cm: 1 × 0.0795774715 = 0.0795774715 abA/cm

Common Use Cases

  • Translating magnetomotive force density from cgs literature into linear current density units for magnetic circuit design.
  • Analyzing distributed magnetomotive force along long solenoids or coil windings in older magnetics research.
  • Converting cgs-EMU magnetostatic problem data involving line currents to SI-compatible units.
  • Describing current density along thin conductors or antenna elements in historical electromagnetic contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the conceptual difference between MMF density (Gi/cm) and current density (abA/cm) when interpreting results.
  • Use the exact conversion factor provided to maintain consistency in your calculations.
  • Apply this conversion primarily within the cgs/EMU framework before translating to SI units if needed.
  • Double-check unit definitions and contexts when working across different electromagnetic unit systems.

Limitations

  • These units reflect different physical concepts—magnetomotive force density versus current density—requiring careful contextual interpretation.
  • The conversion is valid mainly within cgs-EMU systems and may need further scaling for SI usage.
  • Accuracy depends on consistent use of unit definitions and conversion constants as specified by the centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic system.

Frequently Asked Questions
