What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms magnetic field strength measurements from oersted (Oe), a cgs-emu unit representing magnetizing force, into ampere turn per meter (At/m), an SI-related unit measuring magnetizing force in terms of coil turns and current per length.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in oersted (Oe) you want to convert.
  • Select ampere turn per meter (At/m) as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent magnetizing force in At/m.
  • Use the result in engineering or research calculations involving magnetic fields.

Key Features

  • Converts values between oersted and ampere turn/meter with provided conversion rate.
  • Supports translating older magnetic measurement data into SI-compatible units.
  • Includes practical examples illustrating the conversion process.
  • Browser-based and easy to use without additional software.
  • Useful for engineers and researchers working with magnetic field strength.

Examples

  • 2 Oe converts to approximately 159.1549 At/m by multiplying 2 × 79.5774715459.
  • 0.5 Oe converts to about 39.7887 At/m by multiplying 0.5 × 79.5774715459.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying coercive field values and magnetic parameters from older datasheets.
  • Plotting magnetic hysteresis loops with H in Oe and B or M in gauss or emu.
  • Converting legacy magnetic data for modern SI-based analysis and design.
  • Designing electromagnets and solenoids by determining magnetizing force.
  • Analyzing magnetic circuits and transformer cores using magnetomotive force per length.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify that the magnetic context is appropriate for cgs-to-SI conversion (usually free space or non-magnetic materials).
  • Use this tool to compare and translate older experimental data with current standards.
  • Account for possible nonlinearity or field non-uniformity when applying At/m in complex materials.
  • Cross-check converted values with your specific engineering requirements for accurate application.

Limitations

  • Oersted unit is mainly valid in free space or materials without magnetic complexity; conversion may be less accurate otherwise.
  • Ampere turn per meter assumes linearity and uniform magnetic fields, which might not be true in practical magnetic circuits.
  • This tool does not factor in magnetic permeability variations or detailed experimental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the oersted unit used for?
Oersted measures magnetic field strength, especially the magnetizing force applied to materials, commonly seen in older magnetic literature and equipment.

How is ampere turn per meter defined?
Ampere turn per meter quantifies magnetizing force as the number of coil turns times current per length, numerically matching amperes per meter in the SI system.

Why convert oersted to ampere turn per meter?
Converting to ampere turn per meter allows use of magnetic field strength values in SI-based engineering applications like electromagnet design and magnetic circuit analysis.

Key Terminology

Oersted (Oe)
A cgs-emu unit of magnetic field strength representing the magnetizing force, primarily used in older magnetic data.
Ampere turn per meter (At/m)
An SI-related unit of magnetizing force defined as coil turns multiplied by current divided by magnetic path length, numerically equivalent to A/m.
Magnetizing Force (H)
The magnetic field strength that causes magnetic materials to become magnetized, measured in Oe or At/m.
