Key Features
- Converts magnetic field strength between oersted and kiloampere per meter.
- Supports magnetics research, permanent magnet manufacturing, and materials testing needs.
- Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
- Offers practical use for interpreting legacy data and modern measurement standards.
Examples
- 10 Oe equals 0.795774715 kA/m by multiplying 10 by the conversion factor 0.0795774715.
- 50 Oe is converted to 3.978873575 kA/m using the same method.
Common Use Cases
- Converting magnetic field strengths from older cgs-based literature for modern SI analysis.
- Specifying coercive field and operating points on hysteresis curves in magnetic materials.
- Designing electromagnets and magnetic circuits requiring magnetizing field values in SI units.
- Reporting magnetizing fields in testing and characterization of magnetic materials.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure you understand the difference between cgs and SI units before converting.
- Use the exact conversion factor provided for accurate unit translation.
- Check legacy datasheets carefully when interpreting oersted values due to system differences.
- Be mindful of unit scaling, as kiloampere per meter is a large SI unit.
Limitations
- Oersted is used primarily in the cgs-emu system and may cause confusion without proper context.
- Careful interpretation is needed when translating legacy measurements to SI units.
- Kiloampere per meter units require appropriate scaling to maintain numerical clarity.
