Frequently Asked Questions

What is gauss used to measure?
Gauss measures magnetic flux density, commonly appearing in older literature and fields such as astrophysics and applied magnetics.

Why convert gauss to weber per square centimeter?
Conversion enables comparison between CGS units and SI-derived units, useful in high-field magnet research and precise electromagnetic component analysis.

Are gauss and weber per square centimeter part of the same measurement system?
No, gauss belongs to the CGS system, while weber per square centimeter is an SI-derived unit, so conversions require attention to system differences.

Key Terminology

Gauss (G)
A CGS unit of magnetic flux density equal to one maxwell per square centimeter, often used in astrophysics and applied magnetics.
Weber per square centimeter (Wb/cm²)
An SI-derived unit expressing magnetic flux distributed over one square centimeter, primarily used in specialized high-field magnetic applications.
Magnetic Flux Density
A measure of magnetic induction representing how much magnetic flux passes through a unit area.
