- Select the unit you want to convert to — in this case, oersted (Oe).
- Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent value in oersted.
- Use the result to interpret or compare magnetic field data from different sources.
Key Features
- Converts magnetic field strength from kiloampere per meter to oersted with a fixed conversion factor.
- Supports unit translation between SI and cgs systems for coherent data comparison.
- User-friendly interface suitable for engineers, researchers, and students.
- Browser-based tool requiring no installation or special software.
Examples
- 2 kA/m converts to 25.1327412288 Oe by multiplying 2 by 12.5663706144.
- 0.5 kA/m converts to 6.2831853072 Oe using the same multiplication factor.
Common Use Cases
- Specifying coercivity and operating points on hysteresis curves for permanent magnets.
- Designing and analyzing electromagnets and magnetic circuits requiring magnetic field conversions.
- Reporting magnetizing fields in magnetic material testing and characterization environments.
- Converting values from older literature or equipment using cgs units to SI units.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure measurements are taken in free space or non-magnetic media for accurate conversions.
- Cross-check converted values when integrating data from different unit systems for consistency.
- Use this tool for comparing material properties and equipment specifications reported in SI and cgs units.
- Be cautious when interpreting older datasheets or plots using oersted units alongside modern SI data.
Limitations
- Conversion assumes free space conditions; material permeability can cause discrepancies.
- Oersted is mainly found in older or cgs-based sources, possibly complicating integration with SI data.
- Rounding or calibration differences may affect precision of conversion results.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does kiloampere per meter (kA/m) measure?
- Kiloampere per meter quantifies the magnetizing force per unit length, representing magnetic field strength in the SI system.
- Why convert from kA/m to oersted (Oe)?
- Conversion is needed to compare magnetic measurements reported in SI units with those in the older cgs system, especially in magnetic materials and testing.
- Is the conversion from kA/m to Oe exact?
- The conversion uses a fixed factor but may vary slightly due to rounding and experimental conditions like material permeability.
Key Terminology
- Kiloampere per meter (kA/m)
- An SI derived unit of magnetic field strength representing magnetizing force per unit length equal to 1,000 amperes per meter.
- Oersted (Oe)
- A cgs-emu unit quantifying magnetic field strength, commonly used in older magnetic materials literature and representing magnetizing force applied to materials.
- Magnetic field strength (H)
- A measure of magnetizing force that relates to magnetic flux density and material magnetization.
