Key Features

  • Converts oersted (Oe) to gilbert per centimeter (Gi/cm) with a direct 1:1 conversion ratio
  • Facilitates analysis of magnetic circuits and coil winding designs in cgs/EMU units
  • Supports interpretation of older magnetics literature and laboratory measurements
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions

Examples

  • 5 Oersted equals 5 Gilbert/centimeter
  • 0.1 Oersted equals 0.1 Gilbert/centimeter

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting magnetizing field strength in older cgs magnetics literature and datasheets
  • Characterizing hysteresis loops and magnetizing fields of ferromagnetic materials
  • Describing distributed magnetomotive force in long solenoid or winding designs
  • Converting historic cgs data to support magnetic circuit and coil winding analysis
  • Modeling spatial MMF distribution along magnetic cores or conductors

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion only within cgs-based magnetics contexts to maintain relevance
  • Verify whether analysis involves magnetic field strength or linear MMF density for accurate unit application
  • Compare experimental or literature data carefully to confirm unit compatibility
  • Refer to magnetic circuit design principles when applying converted values

Limitations

  • Oersted measures magnetic field strength, not linear current density
  • Conversion applies primarily to cgs-based magnetics and may not align with SI linear current density units without further adjustments
  • Context is essential when using converted values for design or analysis to avoid misinterpretation

Frequently Asked Questions
