How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in line per square centimeter you want to convert
  • Select the from-unit as line/square centimeter and the to-unit as maxwell/square meter
  • Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent value in maxwell per square meter

Key Features

  • Converts magnetic flux density from line/square centimeter to maxwell/square meter accurately
  • Supports integration of historical CGS magnetic data with modern SI units
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick magnetic flux density unit conversions

Examples

  • 5 line/cm² equals 0.0005 maxwell/m² based on the conversion factor
  • 100 line/cm² converts to 0.01 maxwell/m² as per the defined rate

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting magnetic field strength in older CGS-based literature and laboratory records
  • Interpreting Earth's magnetic field intensity or geomagnetic survey data from historical sources
  • Converting and comparing magnetic flux density values during magnetic recording or sensor calibration involving mixed CGS and SI units

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistency when mixing CGS and SI units to avoid confusion
  • Use this conversion to integrate legacy magnetic flux data with modern measurements reliably
  • Be cautious when handling extremely small or large values due to unit scale differences

Limitations

  • Line/square centimeter is a historical CGS unit which may not be directly measurable by modern devices
  • Conversion can involve scale differences that affect precision with very large or small flux densities
  • Care is needed to maintain unit consistency to avoid errors when combining CGS and SI units

Frequently Asked Questions

What does line per square centimeter measure?
Line per square centimeter is a CGS unit of magnetic flux density representing one magnetic line of force passing through an area of one square centimeter, numerically equal to one gauss.

How is maxwell per square meter related to tesla?
Maxwell per square meter equals ten to the power of negative eight tesla, as one maxwell corresponds to 10⁻⁸ weber in SI units.

Why convert line/cm² to maxwell/m²?
Conversion is important for translating historical CGS-based magnetic data into SI units to support comparisons, scientific calculations, and integration with modern magnetic field measurements.

Key Terminology

Line per square centimeter
A CGS magnetic flux density unit representing one magnetic line of force (maxwell) per square centimeter; numerically equivalent to one gauss.
Maxwell per square meter
An SI-related unit of magnetic flux density equal to one maxwell of flux spread over one square meter, equivalent to 10⁻⁸ tesla.
Magnetic flux density
A measure of the magnetic field strength passing through a given area, expressed in various units including line/cm² and maxwell/m².
