Frequently Asked Questions

What does gilbert per centimeter measure?
Gilbert per centimeter (Gi/cm) measures the linear magnetomotive force distributed along a length in centimetres in older CGS magnetic unit systems.

Why convert from gilbert/centimeter to abampere/inch?
The conversion helps translate linear magnetomotive force data from CGS magnetics to linear current density units in the CGS-EMU system, facilitating interpretation and further electromagnetic calculations.

Can I use this conversion for modern SI unit calculations?
While the conversion is useful for historical or legacy data, the units are from older systems and should be integrated cautiously when working with modern SI-based units.

Key Terminology

Gilbert/centimeter (Gi/cm)
A unit of linear magnetomotive force density in the CGS system representing gilberts spread per centimetre length.
Abampere/inch (abA/in)
A CGS-EMU unit for linear current density indicating abamperes of current per inch length along a conductor.
Linear Current Density
The amount of electric current or magnetomotive force distributed along a unit length of a conductor or magnetic circuit.
