What Is This Tool?

This converter translates magnetic field strength values from ampere turn per meter (At/m), an SI-based unit, into oersted (Oe), a cgs-emu unit. It helps bridge measurements used in electromagnet design and legacy magnetic field analyses.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the magnetic field strength value in ampere turn per meter (At/m)
  • Select the target output unit as oersted (Oe)
  • Click the convert button to get the corresponding value in Oe
  • Review the results to apply in design, analysis, or comparison tasks

Key Features

  • Supports conversion of magnetic field strength units: At/m to Oe
  • Based on a precise conversion factor between SI and cgs-emu units
  • Useful for comparing modern electromagnet data with older magnetic performance parameters
  • Browser-based and easy to use without needing installation

Examples

  • Convert 10 At/m: 10 × 0.0125663706 = 0.125663706 Oe
  • Convert 50 At/m: 50 × 0.0125663706 = 0.62831853 Oe

Common Use Cases

  • Determining magnetizing force in electromagnet and solenoid designs
  • Analyzing magnetic circuits and transformer cores
  • Evaluating permanent magnet characteristics reported in Oe
  • Comparing measurements between SI and legacy cgs unit systems
  • Interpreting old laboratory equipment and literature data

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you understand the context since At/m and Oe belong to different unit systems
  • Use the conversion primarily for free-space or non-magnetic conditions
  • Double-check conversions when analyzing materials with varying permeability
  • Keep in mind that Oe usage is declining in favor of SI units
  • Use the tool to support compatibility with older datasheets and research

Limitations

  • Conversion accuracy assumes free-space or non-magnetic media conditions
  • Material-specific permeability can influence actual magnetic field strength relations
  • Units belong to different systems (SI vs cgs-emu), requiring careful interpretation
  • The oersted unit is becoming less common in modern measurements and equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ampere turn per meter (At/m) measure?
Ampere turn per meter measures the magnetizing force or magnetic field strength as the number of ampere-turns per unit length of a magnetic path.

Why convert At/m to oersted (Oe)?
Conversion is useful for comparing SI-based electromagnet data with legacy datasheets, magnetic hysteresis plots, and laboratory results that use the cgs-emu unit Oe.

Is the conversion between At/m and Oe exact for all materials?
No, the conversion applies mainly to free space or non-magnetic media; differences in material permeability can affect the relationship.

Key Terminology

Ampere turn/meter [At/m]
An SI unit measuring magnetizing force as the number of coil turns multiplied by current per meter length of magnetic path.
Oersted [Oe]
A cgs-emu unit quantifying magnetic field strength, used primarily in older datasheets and laboratory measurements.
Magnetic field strength (H)
A measure of magnetizing force, indicating the intensity of a magnetic field.
