  • Analyzing magnetic materials and generating hysteresis measurements
  • Evaluating magnet performance parameters from older datasheets reported in oersted
  • Translating historical magnetics literature data to modern SI units
  • Performing transformer and inductor magnetic-circuit analyses

Tips & Best Practices

  • Remember that ampere/meter is an SI unit and oersted belongs to the cgs-emu system; conversions might vary in magnetic media other than free space
  • Use the tool to ensure consistent unit usage when comparing modern and historical magnetic data
  • Double-check conversion results when dealing with very small or large field values due to possible rounding effects
  • Apply the conversion formula consistently for reliable magnetic field strength translation

Limitations

  • The unit systems have different base assumptions, so conversions should be treated carefully when magnetic permeability varies from free space
  • Numerical precision may be affected by rounding, especially for extreme magnetic field values

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the relationship between ampere/meter and oersted?
One ampere per meter is equal to approximately 0.0125663706 oersted, linking the SI and cgs-emu units of magnetic field strength.

Why would I convert from A/m to Oe?
Conversion helps compare and use magnetic field data reported in different measurement systems, such as modern SI-based designs and older literature or instruments using oersted.

Are there any considerations when converting in different magnetic materials?
Yes, differences in magnetic permeability and unit systems mean conversions may not be straightforward outside free space, requiring careful interpretation.
