What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms linear current density values from gilbert per centimeter (Gi/cm), a CGS-based magnetomotive force unit, to ampere per centimeter (A/cm), an SI unit representing current distribution along a length.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in gilbert per centimeter (Gi/cm) you want to convert
  • Select gilbert/centimeter as the input unit and ampere/centimeter as the output unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent value in ampere per centimeter (A/cm)
  • Use the result for electrical, magnetic, or coil winding calculations

Key Features

  • Converts linear MMF density from Gilberts per centimeter to Ampere per centimeter

  • Supports engineering applications including magnetic circuit and PCB current design
  • Browser-based and easy to use with no installation needed

Examples

  • 5 Gi/cm converts to approximately 3.9788735755 A/cm
  • 10 Gi/cm converts to approximately 7.957747151 A/cm

Common Use Cases

  • Translating distributed magnetomotive force from CGS units to SI units for coil design
  • Analyzing current distribution along PCB traces, bus bars, or electrode edges
  • Converting historical magnetics data for modern electrical and magnetic circuit analysis
  • Designing high-current contacts in railguns or welding processes

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify that you use this conversion only for linear current or MMF densities along a length
  • Avoid applying this conversion to volumetric or surface current densities
  • Use the precise conversion factor provided for accurate results
  • Consider the legacy context of gilbert-based units when interpreting results

Limitations

  • Gilbert/centimeter is a CGS unit mainly used in older or academic materials
  • Conversion precision may vary due to the irrational nature of the factor relating gilbert to ampere
  • Not suitable for current density expressed over area or volume instead of length

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gilbert/centimeter represent?
Gilbert per centimeter expresses magnetomotive force distributed along length in the CGS system, mainly used in magnetic circuits or coil design.

Why convert gilbert/centimeter to ampere/centimeter?
Converting to ampere per centimeter allows the use of SI units compatible with modern electrical design and analysis tools.

Can I use this converter for area current densities?
No. This conversion only applies to linear current density along a length, not area or volume-based densities.
