What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to transform magnetic flux density measurements from gamma, a legacy unit commonly used in geomagnetism, into maxwell per square meter, a CGS-based unit that quantifies magnetic flux distributed over an area. It helps integrate and compare different measurement systems for magnetic fields.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the numeric value in gamma units you want to convert.
- Select gamma as the source unit and maxwell per square meter as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in maxwell per square meter.
- Use the conversion formula 1 Gamma = 1e-9 Maxwell/square meter to verify results.
Key Features
- Converts magnetic flux density from gamma to maxwell per square meter accurately.
- Supports legacy and CGS-based units commonly used in geophysics and magnetic research.
- Browser-based and easy to use for quick unit transformations.
- Helps interpret and compare historical and modern magnetic measurements.
Examples
- 5 gamma converts to 5 × 1e-9 = 5e-9 maxwell per square meter.
- 100 gamma converts to 100 × 1e-9 = 1e-7 maxwell per square meter.
Common Use Cases
- Reporting geomagnetic field measurements and their variations detected by ground magnetometers.
- Converting legacy geomagnetic data into flux density units consistent with older CGS references.
- Analyzing magnetic anomalies during geophysical exploration and mapping projects.
- Comparing small flux densities in laboratory magnetics where both SI and CGS units appear.
- Interpreting historical thin-film magnetization measurements originally expressed in maxwell-based units.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify unit compatibility when working with legacy and mixed unit systems.
- Be cautious with very small values to avoid rounding errors during conversion.
- Use this converter to maintain consistency when integrating measurements from different sources.
- Understand the context of data (geophysics, laboratory, historical) to select correct units.
Limitations
- Gamma is a legacy unit and not officially part of the SI system, requiring careful interpretation.
- Maxwell per square meter derives from CGS flux units and may reflect older measurement conventions.
- Converting very small magnetic flux densities demands attention to numerical precision to prevent errors.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is gamma used for in magnetic measurements?
- Gamma is a legacy unit primarily used in geomagnetism for expressing small magnetic field strengths and temporal variations.
- How does maxwell per square meter relate to tesla?
- One maxwell per square meter equals 10⁻⁸ tesla, measuring magnetic flux density expressed as flux per unit area.
- Why convert gamma to maxwell/square meter?
- Converting helps integrate legacy geomagnetic data with older CGS-based literature and laboratory magnetics where maxwell-based units are common.
Key Terminology
- Gamma (γ)
- A legacy unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1 nanotesla, used mainly in geomagnetism.
- Maxwell per square meter
- A CGS-based unit of magnetic flux density representing one maxwell of magnetic flux passing through an area of one square meter.
- Magnetic flux density
- A measure of magnetic field strength expressed as magnetic flux passing through a unit area.
